Groups
Groups for Girls & Women with Eating Concerns
You are not alone. Emotional eating is a common problem, which may indicate dissatisfaction and frustration from unfulfilled aspects of personal life. If you find yourself returning to the cupboard multiple times, you may wish to ask, "What is my hunger really about?" Oftentimes, food can act as a replacement for love, desire, unrealized dreams, and other protective and numbing measures. Discover a new relationship with yourself through creative expression and develop connections that are affirming. The use of art, creative writing, and dialog within a confidential group context uniquely honors each participant. Commitment to 15-week session required.
