Binge Eating Support Group

(8 weeks)

Are you currently experiencing Binge Eating Disorder? This support group is for you. 

There can be a lot of shame and guilt involved with binge eating. Feeling a sense of being “out of control” is common. Food may feel like an enemy. Not unlike a friendship, we are in a relationship with food... This group was developed to help you explore this relationship. Which behaviours bring you closer to and further away from how you want that relationship to feel? Learn about how binge eating creates short-term relief from uncomfortable emotional states. In this group, you will be supported in identifying the elements that trigger your binge eating behaviour. Tools will be provided to help you avoid bingeing and feel at peace with food. A life of food freedom is possible for you! This group will be a safe place for you to voice your experiences alongside others who understand. 

Examples of topics that may be explored:

* Identifying binge triggers (situations, emotions, memories, body sensations and urges)

* Using mindfulness to become more present in the face of these feelings and behaviours 

* How to process your emotions without turning to food for relief

* Building self-compassion in order to care for yourself and your emotions

The group will include a combination of skill-learning and group sharing.

Please note: This support group is not therapy and is not a substitute for treatment.
