Overcoming Mind-Hunger
The Overcoming Mind-Hunger Program works to enhance recovery from binge eating disorder, bulimia or emotional eating issues by helping clients change their relationship with food. Overcoming Mind-Hunger addresses energy balance, management of true physical hunger and body acceptance. Once a normal healthy attitude about food emerges, more complex issues related to desire to change weight can be addressed.
The Foundation Group
This 15-week psychoeducational series is for those who are new to the idea of changing relationship with food. Each class is designed to develop personal awareness as well as genuine understanding of why we eat for reasons other than true physical hunger. Classes include group discussion, hands-on eating experiences and basic nutrition physiology.
Topics Explored:
That "need" for chocolate: How food can impact brain chemistry and blood sugar.
Emotional eating: Why saying no to favorite foods and eating to suppress feeling is often destructive.
