BEFRIENDING YOUR BODY PROGRAM (BFYB) ™ ®
The BFYB Program
A unique 8-week Somatic Self-Compassion Recovery program teaching you the skills of embodiment and self-compassion for disordered eating and making peace with your body, food and self!
This somatic program is the first of its kind, grounded in the Polyvagal Theory and the evidenced-based practices of Interoceptive Awareness, Self-Compassion, and Mindfulness.
Based on Dr. Ann Saffi Biasetti’s research and book, Befriending Your Body: A Self-Compassionate Approach to Freeing Yourself From Disordered Eating, this program is a unique psycho-educational program grounded upon the brain-based knowledge of eating disorders and the world of neuroscience.
This program will offer you:
~ a new view on recovery moving away from the disease model into a more holistic and integrated understanding of self
~ help to develop a new, respectful, and trusting relationship with your body, food, and self
~lasting healing and freedom within your body and from the constraints of Diet Culture
Each week you will engage in a lecture as we teach you the primary principles of each
phase of recovery and a new view, along with guided somatic practices and self-reflections to
build the necessary skill of embodiment in each phase to move you forward in your self-
discovery, and your relationship with your body and food.
THROUGH LEARNING NECESSARY SOMATIC SKILLS, AND SELF-COMPASSION, YOU WILL GAIN:
Greater emotion regulation and self-discovery.
Knowledge about the internal workings of your body and nervous system.
A “new language” about your body from the inside out which, in turn, helps you to grow true self-care and intuitive knowledge.
An awareness of how internal knowledge assists you in regulating the tough emotions, such as anxiety, fear and shame, that block recovery and keep you stuck.
An understanding of how the powerful skills and practice of self-compassion can help soothe the toughest moments within your nervous system, your emotions and thoughts to keep you moving forward.
