Befriending Your Body Program (BFYB) ®
BFYB® is a unique trauma-informed 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!
Based on the Polyvagal Theory and the evidence-based practices of interoceptive awareness, self-compassion, and mindfulness. It offers a new view on healing your relationship with your body and food, and the path back to embodiment.
Join us In-Person or virtually - see options below.
You will develop a new respectful and trusting relationship with your body, food and self for integrated and lasting healing and freedom! Through learning the necessary skills of embodiment and self-compassion for emotional regulation and self-discovery, you will learn how the internal workings of your body and nervous system can actually help you to regulate the tough emotions that block recovery and keep you stuck.
You will also learn how self-compassion soothes the toughest moments and keeps you moving forward. This program was developed through Ann’s doctoral research, the writing of her book, a pilot study on the program, and over 34 years of her clinical knowledge working with those struggling with disordered eating and body image issues.
Dr. Biasetti’s book, Befriending Your Body: A Self-Compassionate Approach to Freeing Yourself From Disordered Eating, is the companion book to the program. Each week we will unfold a new understanding through the internal language of your body, and how to see recovery in a new way, through lectures, guided practices and self-reflections.
