DATE: Thursday, September 4
TIME: 5:30PM - 7:00 PM
FACILITATOR: Marla Greenberg
ACTIVITY: Body Image Discussion and Creative Expression
Body Image with Marla
This class will be held twice monthly on Thursday evenings from 5:30 to 7:00.
This group is for anyone who struggles with feelings regarding appearance. It includes people who have had various weight loss surgeries, such as lap band, gastric bypass, and Roux-en-Y. This group may also include people who suffer from various eating disorders, such as bulimia and anorexia nervosa, and also include people who struggle in any way with body image.
Each person in the circle will have a chance, if desired, to talk for three minutes with another two minutes added on if needed. Only one person will speak at a time. We will refrain from expressing judgments or thoughts about other people's sharing.
As a person with body-image issues, I know and understand the feelings and struggles of having no place to go with it. This group will create a place for people to listen, talk, share, and find out they are not alone. People will hopefully make connections and find community.
Creative Expression
Each person may choose to create an image, either abstract or realistic, of their feelings and/or their body image. Next, we will share these images. Please note that people are not required to share their images. Last, each person will have a brief period to express their feelings about this activity.
