How Can The Body Group Help Me?

Little girls sitting and eating their lunch. The girls are "learning" to eat all of their food regardless if they are hungry.Often, problems with bodies and food start in other times of our lives when we needed a way to cope.  When habits started we had no way of knowing that this way of coping would eventually become a problem later on.  When it comes to our bodies, it can be difficult to figure out why we think how we think and why we do what we do.  We just feel trapped.  Fast forward, and the things we are left with are shame, guilt, anxiety and confusion.  There may also be physical consequences not only in terms of too much or too little bodyweight, but also on our skin, teeth, hair, digestion and sleep.  Relationships, work and education also suffer as we retreat into ourselves, hiding our bodies or our eating habits.   Spending time focusing specifically on body issues in the group allows space to find new solutions, understand unhelpful patterns and put the past behind us.
