Do you…
-tend to snack more when you are alone?
-treat yourself routinely with food?
-view eating a favorite food as one of the most pleasant things you can do for yourself?
-have a hard time recognizing when you are hungry or full?
-eat when you are stressed, even if you are not hungry?

If you answered "yes" to 3 or more of the above questions, you may struggle with emotional overeating and are not alone.

The diet mindset and misuse of food to meet emotional needs can lead to poor eating habits, low self-esteem, feeling deprived, and social isolation. On a spiritual level, food becomes an idol. Without processing your emotions around food, your body, soul and spirit can become starved. The Women's Group for Emotional Eating is a 10-week therapeutic group that includes a combination of nutrition education, therapeutic processing and Christian integration. The book, "Intuitive Eating" by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch will facilitate discussion of mindful eating and healthy attitudes regarding food.

This group is for survivors of sexual abuse and in some cases rape victims.  Women who have been through these types of trama often feel like they are the only ones who:

       -  Find all men repulsive
       - Are very promiscuous in their relationships
       - Continually find themselves in relationships with other abusers
       - Have high degrees of anger which often are directed at those they love
       - Find intimacy in marriage very frightening and dissatisfying

 
If you have ever had some of these thoughts, then this group will help you to see that you are not alone and that it does not have to be this way forever.  During the sixteen weeks this group meets we will deal with issues that are related to your present condition, and your experiences of the past and the things that you will need to work through to get better. 
 
Each group meets for an hour and a half.  A commitment to attend and pay for all sixteen weeks ($40 per week) is required.  For more information contact Jennifer Stuckert at 770.753.0350 ext. 103
