Eating Disorder

EATING DISORDERS THERAPY GROUP
A Group for People Wishing to Recover from Disordered Eating

Do you:

• Use food to fill emotional emptiness?

• Use food to comfort unmet needs?

• Use food to swallow feelings?

• Purge shame?

• Starve for control?

• Disconnect from emotions and body?

• Drive your body without enough fuel?

• Strive for pride in order to not feel shame?

• Struggle with identity and self-esteem?

This group will be a reflective space to:

• Explore the function of the eating disorder;

• Disidentify with the eating disorder;

• Develop attunement to body, mind, & emotions;

• Develop healthier ways of being with self and others

In an atmosphere of acceptance and mutual support in a professionally-led group.

Dysfunctional eating is a way of coping. As with many adaptive strategies, it comes with a price. The focus of this regular group will be on body cues, feelings, cognitions, coping skills, styles of relating, and self-expression. Through increased self-awareness and skills, people can better meet their unique needs in ways that are life-affirming.

For more information & fees, or to register for this group, please contact Dr. Marilyn Chotem Registered Psychologist, 604-926-9468.
