Body Beautiful
Our Body Beautiful group is designed for people who have a history of problems with eating, food, or body image, and who have had psychological treatment for it. Our group provides support and trouble shooting, advice, and reminders about strategies that work in maintaining treatment gains. The group is suitable for people who have experienced any of the following:The Body Beautiful group meets once a month and is run by a clinical psychologist. Guest speakers such as dietitians are also involved in the group. The focus is on evidence based techniques - primarily CBT - and runs on the principle of relapse prevention rather than 'abstinence'. The aim of the Body Beautiful group is to provide support and practical advice, and to promote self care and self acceptance.
Please note that this group is for people who have already had some form of psychological treatment for their issue. It is not a treatment group. If you are interested in the group but have not yet undertaken psychological treatment, call us to discuss treatment options.
Group sessions are held monthly, usually on the first or second Wednesday of each month. The groups are open, meaning that new members are welcome to join. Medicare rebates are applicable.
