- Thursdays at 2 pm - NY, NJ and PSYPACT States

3. Participants join the same groups as comprehensive DBT clients.

4. The quality of instruction is the same as the full program.

You would need to have an intake with one of our therapists, but do not need to do individual therapy at Turn the Mind.

Are you navigating challenges with body image and food, feeling the pressures of diet culture, or experiencing loneliness in your recovery? Our Body Image Process Group offers a supportive and understanding space to explore and discuss any topics revolving around food and body image with others who understand and share similar experiences. 

The Body Image Group welcomes individuals of diverse body types and sizes, without regard to specific diagnoses, and embraces individuals at any point in their recovery journey. Group discussions, as a result, can cover a wide range of topics, from participants opening up about specific struggles personal to their experience to broader discussions about the societal impact of diet culture. The group aims to blend the camaraderie among members with expert psychoeducation from group leaders, fostering discussions about various skills and strategies to discover what works best for you in your recovery journey. 

Frequency: Meets once a week.

Duration: 1 hour per session.

Format: Virtual meetings.

Commitment: We encourage a commitment of at least 6 months to maximize the benefits of the group.

Join us and take a step towards a more peaceful relationship with your body and food. For more information or to sign up, please click the button below.

Similar to our Body Image Process Group, Making Peace With Food is all about creating a warm and welcoming space to explore and improve your relationship with food and exercise. The group is semi-structured using psychoeducation about nutrition to dispute our disordered beliefs around food and exercise. We encourage members to share their feelings and personal experiences with others who can help them feel seen in their struggles. Topics may range from exploring toxic relationships with food and exercise, withstanding the oppression of “food police”, and improving our relationship with exercise and finding joy in movement. The group will meet weekly for 1 hour and has no anticipated end date to meet the individualized needs of each member. You no longer have to suffer in silence and CAN create a life free from the shackles of disordered eating. Join us on your journey to healing your relationship with food and movement.

This DBT Skills group will focus on clients sharing their experiences (all Eating Disorders and body types welcomed) of their eating disorders, their relationship with their body and food, and their barriers in recovery. Through psychoeducation, the group leaders hope to invoke conversations about integrating DBT skills and how to get support navigating recovery from not only peers but also from their family, friends, and providers.

In this group, clients’ will leave every meeting with 1-3 new DBT skills that are specifically ED-related

The group is an amazing way for you to elevate your healing journey by learning skills alongside others living with similar struggles who can validate your experiences and support you in strengthening your skills.
