Use food to comfort unmet
needs, or silence feelings?
-
Starve for control?
-
Drive your body without
enough fuel?
-
Binge uncontrollably?
-
Purge food, use laxatives or
restrict to compensate for eating more than you thought you should?
-
Disconnect from emotions and
body?
-
Strive for pride in order to
not feel shame?
-
Struggle with identity and
self-worth?
The group will be a
reflective space to:

Develop attunement to body,
mind, & emotions;
-
Develop healthier ways of
being with self and others.

Dysfunctional eating is a
habit-formed, outward manifestation of underlying conflicts. The goal of
the group is to increase awareness of the underlying (unconscious) issues,
unlock self-defeating or self-harming adaptations, and strengthen a
positive sense of authentic self. Through reflection and mutual support,
members will develop an outlook of compassionate curiosity toward self and
others and their healing journeys.
The group will meet weekly on Tuesdays from 7:15 to 8:45 pm, and will
begin in June 2010. The cost of the group will depend on the size of the
group, but will range from $160 (based on eight members) to $200 (based on
6 members) per four weeks.
