Expressive Arts Therapy for Eating Recovery
This 6-week group therapy experience will be focused on healing your relationship with food, eating, exercise and body image through creative expression. You do not need to be an artist, or identify as a creative person to participate. Expressive Arts Therapy is all about process over product! Using visual arts, music, drama, and other creative processes, we’ll explore how our relationship to food and our bodies is connected to our emotional needs, and we’ll learn tools to help us better meet those needs and care for ourselves. This group is queer and trans inclusive and fat-positive.
