You Don't Have to Do It Alone

Anyone who has been affected by an Eating Disorder knows how hard it is to find relief and recovery from it.  Finding recovery is especially hard to do on your own.  Bowling for Bulimia is a therapeutic group for those seeking recovery and wanting support in doing so.

Under the guidance of eating disorders therapist Matt Keck, group participants come together in safe, supportive environment, to share their stories, feelings, triumphs and trials of recovery so that they feel understood and supported by others who are going through similar experiences.   This is a PRO-recovery group, with members who are wanting to change their relationship with eating, and seek ways to make the change.

Goals and Purpose of the Group

* Developing a healthy lifestyle, free of the  confines of disordered eating

* Reducing obsessive thoughts about food and weight,

* Increasing positive body and self image, reducing negative self-thoughts

* Finding healthy ways to cope with anxiety, depression, and stress

* Connecting with others who are seeking recovery to support one another

* Processing underlying feelings and issues that contribute to disordered eating

* Learning and implementing techniques to end disordered eating behaviors

This group is ideal for those seeking extra support and accountability for their recovery, and an excellent adjunct to individual therapy and other treatment for eating disorders.  Most participants have support in the form of individual therapy, nutritional counseling, and medical care.  Group therapy is also an economical way to obtain the much needed support, and is a good forum for identifying if other sources of support are needed.

The group is open to anyone who is struggling with an eating issue.  Women struggling with different disorders can benefit greatly from seeing the similarities between their particular concern and another person's.  New group members can join at any time, and we ask that any new members commit to 4 sessions in order to keep the group structure stable and safe to share in.If you or somebody you know needs support for an eating disorder, please consider Bowling for Bulimia a place where you are not alone.
