Trauma Informed Therapy
My Approach
I hope to create a body image group utilizing Schema Therapy modalities in order to address and begin to heal women’s relationship with body and self.
What is Schema Therapy?
Schema/Psychodynamic are modalities that focus on subconscious processes that are manifested in current behaviors. It means going in-depth on past events/experiences that have contributed to our current feelings/beliefs about the world, our relationships, and ourselves. Schema therapy is a form of psychodynamic theory that combines cognitive, attachment, and gestalt interventions to understand unconscious beliefs and how they influence maladaptive coping behaviors such as eating disorders, addiction, avoidance, etc. By learning and understanding roots/origins of maladaptive beliefs/behaviors, we are offered choices in how we want to effectively cope in a more self-aligning, authentic way.
Who will benefit?
Women who struggle with body image issues. I hope they will benefit from this group because body image issues tend to be the most pervasive and challenging issue to heal in eating disorder recovery.
