7-Week Conscious Eating™ Bariatric Groups and Tele-Workshops

Continue your “transformation” with our exciting and effective 7-week introductory Group or teleworkshop,  “How to Stop Eating in Response to Everything”

In this life-changing workshop you will:

1. Become aware of the times you reach for food in response to stress or emotions.

2. Learn to feel your body’s cues for hunger, satisfaction, rest, movement and stress.  As your awareness awakens to this process, eating will become a joyful, satisfying experience, free of feelings of guilt, shame or secrecy. 

3. Discover that eating when you are hungry will automatically set a limit called satisfied.

4. Learn valuable new tools to change old patterns of overeating and emotional eating. 

5. Learn how to distinguish Hunger from Thirst.

6. Experience change in a safe, supportive environment with other WLS patients  and a licensed, experienced psychotherapist specially trained to be sensitive to the issues confronting the surgery patient.

In Person group meetings are held once a week for 7 weeks, each meeting is 90 minutes long.   There will be no more than 10 women in the class and after the second meeting, the group will be closed to new participants.  Personalize your experience through completion of the workshop Guidebook containing the Focus of the Week topic and a question each day designed to open your awareness to your specific issues and feelings.

Come and join other like-minded women who are ready to stop the unconscious, emotional eating that has been sabotaging your weight loss maintenance after surgery. 

For your convenience, we offer groups “in person” at the hospital where you had your surgery or your surgeon’s office.  We are increasing our presence in cities around the country,  starting in 2006, so if we are not in your area and you prefer meeting in-person,  please let your doctor know and have him or his office call us at 800-643-7711.  The cities where we know there is an interest will receive top priority as we concentrate our efforts to bring our program to more and more WLS patients.  

FEES: The fee for this workshop is $400 and includes all workshop materials:  the Guidebook and CD.  Since the classes are lead by a licensed Psychotherapist and are considered Group Therapy, part of the workshop fee may be covered by your health insurance.  The fee is paid through our secured site when you register.

TELE-WORKSHOPS

If we are not in your area or if you prefer attending class from the comfort of your home or office, we are also offering these workshops using a new format where you will be connected to the class via telephone and website!!  It’s like a teleconference but more, which is why we call it a TELE-WORKSHOP. 
We are excited to offer this new technology because we know it will give you the closest workshop experience to the “in-person” groups.  You will be able to ask questions by raising your hand or typing a private question directly to your instructor.  You will be able to see via the website, all the class visual materials, and you will be able to break out into groups of two where you will talk privately with a classmate regarding the Focus of the Week (the instructor will be able to listen and give guidance when needed).  It is easy to use and you will receive instructions in writing and at the first meeting.  

TELE-WORKSHOP FEE:  The fee for this tele-workshop is $400 and includes all workshop materials: the Guidebook and CD.  Participating in a tele-workshop is educational and not considered group psychotherapy, so your health insurance will not cover any part of this fee.  You will not pay additional telephone charges for the tele-workshop.  The tele-workshop fee is paid through our secured site when you register.

****Please note:  This introductory workshop is a prerequisite for other workshops and the Phase I,II,III Groups.
