Building Body Trust
See what previous group members have to say about the group….
“Erika was awesome. She is very easy to talk to. Compassionate, validating and yet informative. I loved the group and I loved working with Erika.”
“Erika did a really great job of making sure all voices were heard in the group. She validated each of us when we shared our thoughts. She also shared her own struggles/successes, which made her even more relatable, and helped me understand that body neutrality and/or positivity is a journey. The weekly sessions were very well-paced. I learned a lot!!”
“I really appreciated that there were a variety of ways that discussion was facilitated: wins and challenges, guided questions, and specific curriculum. The support and encouragement of each other was awesome, and Erika is so skilled at group facilitation and asking questions that get you to think about the issues on a deeper level. ”
“This group was exactly what I was looking for and has helped me on my journey to trusting my body. Erika is an excellent facilitator and teacher, and the support and encouragement I received from the group was extremely valuable. Having the opportunity to discuss these sensitive issues with others going through a similar journey was just what I needed.”
What to expect
This is a group for any adult individual who struggles with body image and is looking for a new way to process and address these struggles. Individual sessions are great for understanding the root at which body image is an issue for you personally, and group can be a wonderful next step to implementing skills, learning from others, and processing out loud with other people who have similar experiences and struggles. Group might be exactly what you need to have a fresh outlook and a new motivation to conquer the looming and magnificent stress that body image brings to your daily life.
Each group is 75min. The first 30min consists of reflecting on the previous week- body image challenges and wins, discussion is led by Registered Dietitian, Erika Conte. Then, we will jump into the lesson. Handouts will be provided so you can take notes and remember the important concepts and skills discussed. Each lesson tackles a different aspect of body image- the things that confuse us, prevent us from accepting our own body, exposing our own biases, and what we may not understand when it comes to body size, nutrition and health.
Where & When: Group will be online (Zoom) Mondays from 5:15-6:30pm.
(You are welcome to eat during if needed! We understand it is dinner time for many folks)
