My relationship with Food

Many struggle with food intake management for years, with cultural preferences for thinness or obesity, and exposure to media prompting such ideas where perfect body image is everywhere around us. It is challenging to meet the perceived standards placed in front of us. This affects not only women, but children and men too. Obsession with food, body weight and body shape is for many connected with happiness and success.

To meet demands placed in front of us many turn to plastic surgery and a variety of coping strategies like food restriction, food binging, or purging behaviours (vomiting or over exercising).

This course covers topics like food problems and difficult emotions; trauma and how it affects your relationship with food; loss of control and triggers (emotional and interpersonal); brain, personality traits and cultural ideas; eating patterns and understanding dysfunctional eating cycles; new ways of thinking about weight and perception of your body image (and your perception); developing new strategies, problem-solving methods and how to maintain change after treatment.
