What is BFYB?
The program is based on Ann Saffi Biasetti’s book, Befriending Your Body: A Self-Compassionate Approach to Freeing Yourself From Disordered Eating. Each week you will engage in a lecture on the primary principles of each phase of recovery along with guided practices and self-reflections to build the necessary skills in each phase to move you forward in your self-discovery, and your relationship with your body and food.

Befriending Your Body: A Self-Compassionate Approach to Freeing Yourself From Disordered Eating is the companion book to the program. Please purchase the book ahead of time and plan to read a chapter a week along with the program.

Different from a support group or therapy group, the BFYB Program is a psycho-educational program that will teach you a great deal about your brain, nervous system, and the inner communication of your body that has been lost along the way. Therefore, we are not interested in stories, rather we are interested in sharing the experience of the skills and practices that are learned in the moment.

Yes, it’s encouraged! The program can work alongside your sessions with other providers and can even potentially enhance your work with them. We’d also be happy to collaborate with them!
