Intro to Intuitive Eating:
A Tool to Liberate Yourself from the Prison of Diet Culture and Weight Obsession
We are born Intuitive Eaters, but cultural messages to diet and lose weight quickly start to take over our minds and cause us to lose trust in our bodies. Intuitive Eating is a process of relearning instincts we once knew. Extensive research shows that Intuitive Eating is associated with lower markers of disordered eating, food preoccupation, food-related anxiety, body dissatisfaction, binge eating, and depression. This workshop will introduce you to the 10 principles of Intuitive Eating that will help you learn to reject diet culture and make peace with food and your body.
When: Wednesday, May 15th
Time: 5:00-6:00pm Mountain Time
Who: Everyone is welcome
Where: Virtually on Zoom
Cost: Free

Build Your Yardstick: An Introduction to Confident Caregiving Skills
Calling all Caregivers!
Join us for this interactive, skills-building webinar with Bryn Miller, an eating disorder psychotherapist turned caregiver coach. Backed by her decade of experience supporting families, Bryn helps busy and overwhelmed caregivers get calm, confident and connected to their loved ones through her organized approach, concrete skills and compassionate support.
Bryn, an expert in Caregiver Support, will walk you through key tenants of Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) including why Caregivers are so important, the robust research behind the model and, most importantly, what you can do to support your loved one, no matter what their struggle is or the state of your relationship.
You will leave with three concrete tools to help you help your loved one right away, by:
- Completing a visual exercise to set clear goals for your Caregiver work
- A tracking tool to clearly assess if things are working- and what to do if they aren’t!
- An empowering reframe for approaching the hardest situations with your loved one
Bring your pen and paper, this one will be full of tools you can start using immediately! (Or just come and listen- you do you!) And save the date for our follow-up webinar on September 11th to take it to the next level!
