At CEDAR, we offer group therapy guided by skilled therapists and grad students in a variety of group settings for parents, teens and adults. This includes both support groups and body image groups that offer a wide range of benefits for anyone struggling with eating disorder recovery.
In our groups, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from the experiences and insights of others. Whether this is a personal story of struggle with anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating, or a story of recovery. By sharing your own knowledge and perspectives, you can contribute to a supportive and informative community.
Our specialized body image groups for teens and adults provide a supportive space to explore and challenge negative body image beliefs. Through expert guidance and by connecting with others who share similar experiences, you can gradually improve your self-esteem and develop a healthier relationship with your body.
Our therapists and graduate students create an environment where you can express your feelings, receive empathy, and find encouragement from your peers. No matter if you’re a teen or adult, this emotional support can be invaluable in overcoming the isolation and shame often associated with eating disorders.
Through group therapy, you’ll learn effective coping strategies for managing triggers, challenging negative thoughts, and dealing with difficult emotions surrounding food. Our therapists will guide you through techniques like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Eating Disorders (CBT-E) and other modalities to help you develop healthier ways of thinking and behaving.
Eating disorders can often lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness. Our groups not only provide expert guidance during treatment and recovery, they also provide a sense of belonging and connection with others who understand your experiences. This can help reduce feelings of shame and stigma.
Group therapy can be a valuable tool for long-term recovery and relapse prevention. By building a strong support network, learning from others, and by developing healthy coping strategies within a group setting, you’ll have a greater sense of accountability and can increase your chances of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and preventing relapse.
