Our Approach
Originally a three part series of classes, the program has taken on a new look! Now in one series of 30 classes, the Overcoming Mind-Hunger program has consolidated information to help participants change their relationship with food.
Overcoming Mind-Hunger teaches insights and coping tecniques, provides for practical application of these insights and techniques, and offers an ongoing process to maintain and reinforce positive change. Participants learn to open up to their authentic experience freeing energy to move toward personal life goals.
The program is a series of 30 weekly psychoeducational skills training groups designed to help emotional eaters apply skills and insights in a group process. Participants can deal with feelings related to hunger, food, body image, and self-esteem. The group will facilitate the realization of true self, inner feelings, and personal needs. Group discussion includes:
- Why diets do not work
- Nutrition findings related to the consequences of dieting
- How foods impact blood sugar levels and brain chemistry
- How diet restrictions and eating to suppress feelings can stimulate the cycle of emotional eating
- Coping techniques for overcoming emotional eating
Groups, co-led by a licensed medical nutrition therapist and a licensed psychotherapist, are $45 per 90 minute session, plus a one-time $15 materials fee.
