KHF Guest Speaker Recovery Skills Workshop Series

Our guest speaker, Melissa Bolton, Licensed Professional Counselor, will lead the session, exploring strategies to improve your relationship with your body. These strategies will help you shift from focusing on appearance to focusing on embodied living.

We will cover:

• Where traditional body image work falls short, and how the concept of embodiment can provide a helpful paradigm shift
• Strategies for navigating common body image challenges, such as trying on clothes or taking photographs
• Learning how to tune into the emotions underlying body image distress
• Exploring what behaviors may be reinforcing negative body image

Upon registration, you will receive additional program details and log-in information

The KHF Guest Speaker Workshop is a group intended to be a collaborative space for participants to learn and discuss psychosocial skills, nutrition skills, and daily activities that may present a challenge in their eating disorder recovery. The guest speaker may bring a topic for discussion in his/her field of specialty or may use his/her own testimony of recovery, as a teaching tool and encouragement to participants.

The group is being offered at a discounted cost, and all proceeds will benefit eating disorder scholarships.
