Bethany uses her Master of Social Work to coach you through to a recovery plan that works for you. She offers high challenge, accountability, authenticity, and lots of grace on this road to recovery. This workshop is for you if: ·        you suspect you might be giving too much 'weight' to your weight; ·        if you have ever allowed the scale to have power over your mood, day, actions, confidence; ·        if you are tired of giving too much thought or priority to your weight; ·        or if you just want to know more about the BMI, weight and health, weight stigma, weight bias, and what weight loss does to us physically and mentally. Over 4 pre-recorded video sessions, Bethany dives deep into the research and her own personal story making this a very practical exploration of the concept of body weight as a measure. The homework after each video is designed to help you get the most out of this workshop. Bethany has also provided a list of resources (books, podcasts, Instagram accounts, meditations, etc.) to help you explore concepts from the workshop even further. You can also join in weekly live group sessions to share what you're learning and ask questions on: Wednesday, April 05 @2pm EDT / 7pm UK Wednesday, April 12 @2pm EDT / 7pm UK Wednesday, April 19 @2pm EDT / 7pm UK Wednesday, April 26 @2pm EDT / 7pm UK Sessions will be recorded, and a replay will be made available to you.
