Attached to Food NO More! Exploring Complex Trauma, Unmet Attachment Needs & Food

 

An unhealthy relationship with food doesn’t just happen. Whether excessively drawn to food since you were a child, or discovering the anesthetizing qualities of food to comfort, Self-sooth, or numb your Self as an adult, being caught in a demoralizing battle between needing food and denying food; compulsively overeating-dieting-overeating-dieting; or chaotically binging and purging, the DRIVE toward food as an unconscious means to satisfy unmet primary needs or to survive the emotional, interpersonal, existential or historical aspects of your life, is REAL.

Thankfully, JUST as real is your ability to HEAL whatever is driving your maladaptive attachment to food!

During this 8-week educational and gentle experiential interpersonal psychotherapy group, participants will come to readily understand:

 

  • WHAT has created your subconscious mis-use of food ~ think possible UNRESOLVED complex trauma, unmet attachment needs, detachment from body-Self, a chronic refusal to love your Self, comfort your Self, listen to your Self, respond to your Self or support your Self.

 

  • WHY traditional Cognitive Behavior-only treatment is only 50% effective at RESOLVING disordered eating.  (After the very first group you’ll say, “Of course!… this makes TOTAL sense!”)

 

  • The 7 steps that will teach you HOW to create a healthy relationship with your Self that WILL heal your unhealthy relationship with food.

 

If you are struggling to embrace your Self in a manner that supports emotional and behavioral Self-care, Self-love and Self-integrity, please join this group!

In a safe and supportive, REPARATIVE environment, Dr. Julie will help you to learn how to become attuned to your body, attuned to your emotions and attuned to your Self… in a manner which frees your unsupported Self from it’s lifelong attachment to food! <3

It is never too late to start your A New Beginning, despite whatever painful early beginnings you may have experienced.

I HOPE to see you there!

Dr. Julie <3
