SPECIAL POPULATION/TOPIC GROUPS:

DISORDERED EATING GROUP: Fridays, 3:30-5:00 p.m.

This group will provide a safe environment to meet with 5-8 other women who share similar difficulties with body image, binge eating, purging, restricting, laxative use, and over-exercise. Over the semester, this group will explore their eating habits, but also interpersonal difficulties that can contribute to eating problems. An initial individual consultation is necessary.

SKILLS BASED GROUPS

MINDFULNESS BASED STRESS MANAGEMENT: Wednesdays, 3:00-4:00 P.M.

Mindfulness is the practice of being in the present, not the past or future. Use of mindfulness-based techniques is linked to reductions in anxiety, physical pain symptoms, and depression. This group will offer graduated experiences and repeated practice to cultivate a greater capacity to focus mindfully on the present. These techniques can be an important component of stress management, allowing you to live your life with less turmoil.
