Intuitive Eating Group
a virtual group for teenage girls
About this Group
This virtual intuitive eating support group helps connect teenage girls in the community who are looking to heal their relationship with food and their bodies. Each week, participants work through “The Intuitive Eating Workbook for Teens” by Elyse Resch, MS, RDN, a workbook that explores ways that dieting can negatively impact a teen’s well-being. Concepts are reviewed and discussed during weekly group meetings, which are focused on offering a safe space to gather and gain support from a licensed therapist and like-minded peers. The facilitator will guide and provide insight around factual nutrition-based information needed to help those who have developed a diet mentality and/or negative self image about their bodies.
What is Intuitive Eating?
Intuitive Eating is a non-dieting approach that encourages building trust with the body and making food choices that feel good for you, without judging yourself or the influence of diet culture. Intuitive Eating is not a diet or food plan. There is no pass or fail and no “blowing it.” Instead, it’s a journey of self-discovery and connection to the needs of your mind and body. It involves an inner journey of discovery that puts you front and center; you are the expert of your own body.
