Eating Disorders Group

    

Course Overview:
An 6-week Eating, Obesity & Weight Management group for people concerned with eating related disorders, including Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAD), Bulimia and Binge Eating Disorders.

Many individuals are impacted by eating issues, body image concerns, and weight-related problems. The effects of an eating disorder can often be felt in many areas of a person's life: school, relationships, self-esteem, and physical health. Feelings of shame, guilt, and isolation are also common.

This 6-week group is for anyone who has experienced abnormal weight change, refusal to eat, excessive exercise, binge eating, compulsive eating, distorted body image, self-induced vomiting, use of laxatives, diet pills or diuretics to control weight, depression, and negative self-talk. Each session offers support and understanding in a safe environment, information resources, hope for recovery, and the opportunity to discover that one is not alone. These group sessions are not intended to replace therapy.

Content:
In six sessions, the group will cover:

• Where you are in your recovery and what you want
• Identifying your stressors
• Perfectionism
• Self-talk
• Finding your voice
• Breaking your pattern
• Letter to an eating disorder
• What healthy solutions are

Depending upon the needs of the group members, the group may continue after the 6-week session is completed. This is then considered to be an ongoing therapy or support group for clients with eating concerns. (Please note: we do not provide individual therapy for clients struggling with eating disorders without first participating in our group program. The exceptions to this are if the group has started and you are waiting for the next group to begin, or during the summer when we do not offer the group program.)
