  • Understanding and finding the function of eating disorders and increasing abilities in self-care.
  • Taking the fear out of food.
  • Understanding the emotional roles of shame.
  • Communicating openly in an authentic dialogue of mutuality and acceptance.
  • Working on accepting feelings and needs; self esteem; body image issues; intimacy and sexuality.

Through the direct experience and knowledge of group connectedness, members gain an increasing sense of self, hope, trust, and identity. Members have the full opportunity to explore their stories and how their experiences have affected the growth of healthy relationships with themselves and others.

About Group Therapy

Group Therapy is a special form of therapy in which a small number of people meet together under the guidance of a professionally trained and certified group psychotherapist to help themselves and one another. Group therapy has been widely used and has been a standard treatment option for over 50 years. If you stop and think about it, each of us has been raised in group environments, either through our families, schools, organized activities, or work. These are the environments in which we grow and develop as human beings. Group psychotherapy is similar because it provides a place where you come with others to share problems or concerns, to better understand your own situation, and to learn from and with each other.

Group Therapy helps people learn about themselves and improve their interpersonal relationships. It addresses both comfortable and uncomfortable feelings including those feelings of isolation, depression or anxiety. And it helps people make significant changes so they feel better about the quality of their lives.

Group Works! In studies comparing group psychotherapy to individual therapy, group therapy has been shown to be as effective and sometimes even more effective. In homogenous groups (groups made up of individuals who suffer with similar struggles) for example eating problems, specific trauma related experiences such as sexual abuse as well as medical problems. There is substantial evidence that this form of therapy helps people cope better, enhances the quality of their lives and in some cases, medically oriented groups have been shown to help people live longer.
