Support Group: “Self-Care Beyond Bubble Baths ~
A Mindful Approach to Emotional Eating and Weight Management”
Bubble baths and chocolate cake are wonderful treats, however, true self-care means: “Creating a life we don’t need to escape from.” If you are ready to let go of restrictive dieting and want to learn how to have a healthy and relaxed relationship with food and your body, this self-care group is for you!
Participants will be:
- introduced to new healthy life-enhancing rituals, which will replace the ritual of comfort eating during stressful times.
- encouraged to take charge of their physical and emotional wellbeing, and to replace comfort eating with calming and nurturing rituals.
- guided to practice mindful self-compassion exercises, and invited to journal about what to let go of and what to bring into their lives.
- empowered to discover what their “heart is hungry for”and to design small action steps, which can easily be implemented into their daily routine.
- gaining a deeper understanding about cognitive-behavioral strategies and mindfulness practices.
- sharing their story with like-minded participants, who are ready to shift to a higher level of awareness and self-care, and to fill their inner self-love reservoir.
- assured that this will be a “safe space” for connecting and sharing.
