Description:
Group therapy offers many benefits to the eating disorder recovery process that individual therapy alone cannot. From the hope instilled by witnessing others’ progress, to the challenging of shame through vulnerability, group work is an integral part of treatment. This webinar will explore the therapeutic factors of group therapy and the stages of group development in general, and will examine the particular relevance of these principles for those struggling with their relationship with food and their bodies.
