Description
Have you felt lost in your relationship with food? Obsessed about changing your body? Preoccupied by food noise and negative self-talk?
Whether you've been a chronic dieter, or you've put your life on hold in many ways because you have attached yourself to an image or appearance ideal that is your measure of success, then this journey is for you.
We live in a society where we are constantly bombarded by messages about how we should look, what we should weigh, what we should or should not eat, what we should or should not wear, how we should or should not exercise. Is it a surprise that we may be living in accordance with other people’s rules, adopting other people’s goals, and measuring our worth by other people’s metrics? It's time to advocate for ourselves differently, compassionately, and fiercely.
In this course we will work together to understand how we have internalized so many beliefs about our bodies and food, and how those beliefs affect us on a daily basis.
If you are used to avoiding certain people or activities in your life, thinking "once I lose the weight, I'll...," and want a more flexible, free, functional relationship with yourself, your body, and food, you've come to the right place.
The course is divided into four sections, each focusing on an important skill that will move the needle as you aim for better body image and a more intuitive relationship with food.
In each section, you will learn specific practices and strategies for developing a relationship with your body and food that is respectful, gentle, compassionate, and gritty so you can start living in alignment with YOUR values versus those that so many of us have unconsciously adopted.
You don't have to LOVE your body to heal your relationship with food actually! The skills you will learn in this course will help you to feel more confident overall, reconnect with what really matters in your life, and help you reclaim your mental and emotional health.
Who this course is for:
- You feel out of control or exhausted from chronic dieting and the beliefs that you need to change yourself to fit in.
- Even if you have not chosen to diet, you put your life on hold in many ways because you have attached yourself to an image ideal that is your measure of success.
- You want to learn how to have a more functional and flexible relationship with food and your body.
- You speak very unkindly to yourself and want to change your self-talk.
- If you have taken other courses with Dr. Kori, you will find this one remarkably helpful to you as well.
