THE BEFRIENDING YOUR BODY PROGRAM
BFYB™® is 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.
THE VALUE
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, it is a unique psycho-educational program based on the brain-based knowledge of eating disorders and the world of neuroscience.
This program will offer you:
A NEW VIEW ON RECOVERY
HELP DEVELOPING A NEW, RESPECTFUL AND TRUSTING RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR BODY, FOOD, AND SELF
INTEGRATED AND LASTING FREEDOM WITHIN YOUR BODY AND FROM THE CONSTRAINTS OF DIET CULTURE
THE EXPERIENCE
Each week you will engage in a lecture as I 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 UNDERSTANDING OF HOW INTERNAL KNOWLEDGE ASSISTS YOU IN REGULATING THE TOUGH EMOTIONS, SUCH AS ANXIETY, FEAR AND SHAME, THAT BLOCK RECOVERY AND KEEP YOU STUCK.
AWARENESS OF HOW THE POWERFUL SKILLS AND PRACTICE OF SELF-COMPASSION CAN HELP SOOTHE THE TOUGHEST MOMENTS WITHIN YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM, EMOTIONS AND THOUGHTS, TO KEEP YOU MOVING FORWARD.
This program offers a safe and transformational portal. You will not leave unchanged.
This program was developed through Dr. Saffi Biasetti’s doctoral research, the writing of her book, a pilot study on the program, and her 30+ years of clinical knowledge and expertise working with those struggling with disordered eating and body image issues.
I am so excited to have trained with Dr. Saffi Biasetti and bring this new integrated form of recovery out into the world. The skills you will learn can be integrated alongside any other recovery program you may be doing. You will learn to never leave your body or self behind again!
