Led by Eating Disorder psychotherapist, Leah Hovel, the Body Acceptance Group is designed to create a weight inclusive community for individuals of all body sizes and genders. Those who struggle with poor body image, eating disorders or chronic dieting will be given an opportunity to explore emotions about their body. Each participant will take away skills on how to approach these emotions and have a chance to connect with others.
Some of the topics this group will explore are:
Health at Every Size & Intuitive Eating / Mindfulness / Distress tolerance skills / Weight stigma & discrimination / Self-compassion / Cognitive flexibility / Body neutrality / Cultural influences / Interpersonal relationship & self-advocacy / Joyful movement
Group offerings:
Two groups are running: one on the 1st & 3rd of the month which are offered in person at Elle. The second, is on the 2nd & 4th of the month and is offered virtually (must live in the state of WI).
Participation is at a $45 self pay rate per session or inquire about using your health insurance. The group is limited to those 18 years and older.
