Support for the Holidays
If you’re feeling overwhelmed or in need of extra support, the following resources are here to help:
Workshop
Thriving Through the Holidays
The holidays can be a hectic and challenging time. Feelings of stress, anxiety, and difficulties with food arise for many of us. Join Body Brave and Eating Disorders Nova Scotia for a 1-hour interactive workshop to discuss how to manage triggers, strengthen self-care, share communication strategies, navigate meals, and boost your coping skills. You will leave this workshop with your own toolkit of resources catered to support you during the holidays.
Workshop
Reclaiming Challenging Foods
Do you struggle with allowing all foods into your eating pattern? Are you labelling foods as 'good' and 'bad'? Or perhaps you are struggling with foods you feel are ‘safe’ and ‘feared’. Are there foods you are nervous to have available at home? You are not alone. The idea of allowing all foods into your eating pattern can feel overwhelming, especially if a food has been weaponized or demonized. Come ready to explore what ‘all foods fit’ really means and how to reclaim your challenge foods. This workshop is appropriate for anyone struggling with an eating disorder or disordered eating who is ready to talk about incorporating more variety and explore challenges you might have with specific foods.
