Are you looking for help in your relationship with movement?
Our relationships with our bodies can often be fraught and movement gets co-opted by and tangled up in diet culture. Birch Tree Psychotherapy is teaming up with WHP Studios to offer an experiential/process group to help participants reclaim their relationships with their bodies and find belonging in fitness spaces. In this 8-week group, participants will work hands-on with a therapist and fitness coach to address their relationship with movement. Participants will be guided through moving their bodies while receiving therapeutic support and processing emotional challenges and triggers that arise.
In this group, you can:
- develop and foster a positive relationship with movement
- learn to listen to your body and move in ways that feel good to you
- meet others with similar experiences and struggles
- connect with the joy of movement
