What is a Bodywhys Support Group?
Bodywhys support groups are based on the idea of mutual support. They are not a therapy group, although they often have a therapeutic effect, helping a person to feel calmer and more able to cope.
Please note that Bodywhys provides confidential support services within the limits of its Child Protection Policy.
Group for People with Eating Disorders
Group for Family and Friends
This group is held separately, providing an opportunity for family members to talk through their experience.
What Happens When I Go To A group?
People are welcomed by Bodywhys facilitators and are provided with tea/coffee, if they wish. The groups start promptly at the time indicated, so it is helpful to arrive a few minutes in advance.When people take their seat, they will have an opportunity to read through the ground rules/guidelines for the group. These will be repeated by the facilitator when the group starts.
When the group starts, each person is asked to give their first name to the group.
Confidentiality and respect are emphasised. The group generally determines what is discussed at each session. The facilitators do not have a set agenda. People attending are under no obligation to speak during a session. The facilitators ensure the space is safe for all attending. If you feel uncomfortable or upset, do make sure to talk this through before leaving the session. Bodywhys facilitators are always available at the end of a session.
