Have a history of eating or body image issues?
Far enough in your healing that you’re trying to build a future without these challenges?
On this trip, you’ll come to see your body and relationship to food in a whole new light. Define a future for yourself through this experience in the natural world, supported by a Registered Psychotherapist specializing in Eating Disorders and Trauma.
This adventure creates the space for you to explore how far you’ve come in your own healing and to define what’s next – for your identity, relationships, and body.
What you can expect:
4-days of backcountry camping and paddling
2 one-to-one sessions with a guide/psychotherapist, pre-trip and post-trip.
Three group sessions
Three sessions of movement and meditation/mindfulness
At the end of the trip, you will have:
• A clearer sense of self and where you are going in life. A sense of yourself beyond your body, and that sees the strength and power your body CAN have. A relationship to food that isn’t ALL about the food.
• New connections - to yourself, to a group of recovered survivors, and to the =outdoors.
• New emotion-regulation tools to help you stay connected to yourself and others.
• A renewed sense of confidence –knowing you know how to do something powerful, interesting and unique by thriving in the outdoors.
• A sense of worth that comes from something SO much deeper than how you look to others.
