Therapist – Deborah Rodriguez, MEd

Many men and women are wrestling with emotional issues because of their perceptions of their own body image – they convince themselves that their body is the cause of their emotional disturbance. When these bad body thoughts and feelings lead people to dishonor their bodies, real emotional damage can result that affects all other aspects of their everyday lives. This group offers a safe environment to express feelings related to body image problems and an opportunity to connect with others who face similar struggles.

Topics in this group include:

• Learning how to change distorted body image
• Loving and respecting the body
• Discovering triggers for low body self esteem
• Changing negative body self-talk

The Body Image Healing Group is being held from 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays beginning July 29th and running through September 2nd. Group size is limited. However, the group is offered frequently, so call to learn about the next scheduled group.

If you are interested in becoming a part of the group, please let your Relationship Resolutions therapist know. If you are not a current client with Relationship Resolutions, please call 412-921-3908 or email info@relationshipresolutions.org to schedule an intake appointment to determine your appropriateness for the group.

Please note that group members determine how much and what is disclosed at each group session. No one will ever be forced to discuss or divulge anything about which they are uncomfortable. At the beginning of each session, the therapist will remind group members that by participating, they have made a commitment to maintain the confidentiality of all members’ identities and experiences.
