Healthy Mind - Healthy Body: A Support Group for Women

New session starting October 2nd. Healthy Mind – Healthy Body A support group for women struggling to create a healthy relationship with food. This therapist-led group provides a safe, supportive place where you can figure out why food became so much more important in your life than just sustenance. You’ll share your struggle with other women locked in the same battle, learn the tools to change, and together, internalize a new, healthier relationship with food. Discussion topics include: • How food became a substitute for love and affection • Using food to shove down/numb out feelings • Building the mental muscle – becoming more mindful of your food choices • Journaling to discover the roadmap of how you use food, so that you can make more conscious choices. • Family and cultural messages about food and body image • The vicious cycle of Depression and Anxiety that results from using food as a drug, perhaps momentarily feeling better, and the self-loathing, regret, shame and panic (or defeat) that follow • Sexuality and Intimacy (as effected by your relationship with food) • And anything else that makes it hard for you to heal...
