Understanding Your Eating

A programme for adults who comfort eat

I am excited to be bringing this great new group programme to Stratford on Avon. The Understanding Your Eating Programme is written and researched by Julia Buckroyd - an experienced specialist in tackling disordered eating. The course is great for those of us who comfort eat - it uses group discussions and psychological theory to help to work out why we sometimes turn to food for comfort and how to overcome it.

The programme is five ninety-minute workshops, designed to help you discover whether you are an `emotional eater` and if so how to overcome it.

These workshops are for up to 15 adults and are psycho-educational and completely confidential. You will be invited to discuss your own experience, hear other people`s and will also have the opportunity to participate in exercises which aim to make you more aware of how you use food and how old patterns of behaviour can be changed.

The workshops cover the following aspects of emotional eating:

Eating is not just about hunger!
Eating to manage feelings
Self esteem and how it helps you look after yourself better
Improving body esteem
Using people instead of food to get you through the day

Many participants then go on to sign up for the optional next step modules - there are nine more four-week modules to explore different topics in more depth.
