Intuitive
Eating Group
Facilitated by Paige Marmer, Psy.D. & Natasha Halstead, M.A .
Sundstrom Clinical Services is pleased to announce an educational “Intuitive Eating” group designed for individuals of any gender 20 years or older who are concerned about their relationship with food and/or those who are struggling with poor body image. This group is a blend of education and “process”, meaning it is a place to learn more about the principles of intuitive eating and how to apply it, while also allowing for space to share personal thoughts, feelings, and behaviors related to eating as well as concerns around body image, body acceptance, and body trust. The group is designed to deepen our understanding of what Intuitive Eating actually is and how to adopt the principles into everyday life. We will explore the insidious ways diet culture imposes harmful and dangerous standards while practicing ways to garner self-compassion and consider ways to have a gentler, easier relationship with food and body. Group members are encouraged to receive and offer support and feedback and respect the privacy of other group members. The group will include 6-8 members and will be a “closed” format, which means it will not accommodate “drop-ins.” The group meets in person for all sessions.
