Body Image: Writing to Heal
Dec 23 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm
online

This group is for everyone who suffers from a poor body image. You do not have to consider yourself to be a writer; the only requirement is that you want to heal your relationship with your body. As a trained Body Image Coach (to learn more about me go to www.aprilhorton.com) and a person living in this body-shaming culture, I know how painful a challenging body image can be. Writing can be a powerful tool used to heal this type of trauma. The structure of this group is that I will give out writing prompts and then everyone will write as fast as they can, without editing, for approximately ten minutes. Then there will be an opportunity for group members to share what they wrote (only if they want to) and then receive feedback from the group members on how the writing impacted them. In this safe space we can learn together how to see our bodies and ourselves in a more empowering light.

I am a trained Body Image Coach with a background in psychology. If you would like to know more about me check out my website at www.aprilhorton.com.

Our approach is wellness and healing-centered that is diverse and inclusive of EVERYbody.

The YWCA is easy to get to: just south of downtown. Our gym is a judgment-free gym and offers a variety of fitness equipment, cardio machines, free weights, and all the necessities for your fitness routine. Our indoor pool is maintained at a warm temperature, to alleviate joints and recover muscles while lap swimming, free swim, or during our lively aquatics group classes. We offer two community fitness studios with a daily variety of body-positive, welcoming, unique group classes, and seasonal workshops. All of this and on-site professional childcare so your me-time can become your child’s fun time. Personal Training, Health Coaching, and Small Group Classes or Training are also available.
