If you find yourself demeaning your body, punishing it, and blaming it, this six week support group is for you. Whether you are in recovery from traumatic experiences, substance use, or an eating disorder, or are simply a person in a body existing in this timeline, this group will provide a space to build connection with others, to share maladaptive thoughts around body image and identifying the origins of those narratives. The space will be Health At Every Size and body liberation aligned, and help participants identify where internalized ableism, racism, anti-fat bias, and patriarchy show up in their lives and to develop coping skills and resiliency.
Participants will blend sharing and processing of experiences with creative arts therapy interventions designed to help participants examine and play with these narratives from new perspectives, and invite new possibilities and choices to emerge. Participants will also learn tools and talking points to set boundaries with friends, family, peers, and co-workers.
