Mindfulness Eating Group
Mindfulness, a skill that can be useful for increasing personal awareness, can be applied to eating behaviors. It can improve a person's relationship to food and promote awareness of "fullness" or satiety. This helps people make better choices, feeding the body when it is hungry and learning to attend more appropriately to other issues that may be causing non-hunger based eating. This seven-week group meets weekly during the evenings for approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Note that insurance coverage is individual and is not guaranteed.
