Our six-month youth programme is carefully developed and delivered, to help young people between the ages of 18 and 25 to truly commit to long-term wellness and freedom from eating disorder thoughts and behaviours.

The psychoeducational approach is led by highly experienced practitioners from the world of eating disorder healthcare and emotional development.

SESSION 8 - Me an my narratives.

To explore:

• The narratives that are dominant in our life’s
• Look at what is beneath and beyond the stories we tell ourselves about who and what we are

YOU CAN EXPECT:

• To gain greater motivation and desire for your long term sustainable recovery

• To better understand your emotional and behavioural frailties in respect of your illness, and be better able to communicate these thoughts and feelings to those who care for you

• To learn greater self compassion

• To improve your relationship with food and with exercise

• To see a brighter optimistic future where your eating disorder is no longer your identity

HOW IT WORKS:

Chrysalis runs over zoom and is conducted in the following sessions:

• 3 x half day workshops

• 8 x 60 minute sessions, on a fortnightly basis (twice a month)

• 1 x reframing / relapse session

• Access to a variety of fundamental resources

• Six months of contact with a team of eating disorder professionals who come to understand your story

• A group of peers with which to connect and empathise

KEY CRITERIA:

• Be aged between 18 and 25

• Symptoms consistent with an eating disorder – although not necessarily formally diagnosed

• Feel genuinely committed to attending as many sessions of the course as possible and to being authentic with yourself and others through the process

• Accepting of our team’s right to suggest that the programme is no longer right for you, should we feel the process is at odds with the journey you / other delegates are on

• Currently be self-serving enough to maintain your physical and nutritional needs, such that you can partake without posing further risk to yourself or others
