Program Description
Meal support:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Nurturing the Healthy
Self:
Discovering and dismantling faulty belief systems,
understanding and working with emotions, as well as inner dialogues with
the ‘eating disordered self’ create dynamic internal shifts in recovery.
Session themes include exploring multicultural practices of mindfulness,
art, writing, dream work, music, stress reduction techniques and creating
the sacred in everyday life as a means of discovering true Self to replace
the eating disorder.
Nutrition Group and Intuitive Eating:
We dismantle dieting myths and disordered eating
beliefs with shopping excursions and education of physiology principles.
Participants learn the truth about metabolism, health, and strength, and
how to move toward self-trust through eventual intuitive eating.
Interpersonal Group:
Exploring the dynamics of Self in relationship to
others through role playing, psycho drama, and family sculpting shifts the
focus away from the isolation of disordered eating to building healthy
interpersonal relationships.
Older Adolescent Workshop and Counsel Circle:
From movement therapy to outdoor excursions, this
activity based group encourages participants to interact with others.
Trust building, media awareness, stress management, relaxation exercises,
and variety keep adolescents interested in returning. Food
shopping and cooking classes included.
Multi-Family Group for Parents of Adolescents and
Young Adults:
Psycho-education and supportive interaction with
others teaches parents how to effectively respond to disordered eating in
a family member and enhances coping skills and wellbeing. This group
meets bi-monthly, with the day and time determined according to area.
