ANTI-FAT BIAS COURSES
Interested in exploring your unconcious bias?
In our workshops, we challenge the narrative around fat and debunk health myths. We help you feel more at ease with your own body allowing you to live with greater self-acceptance and peace.
We also offer CPD specifically for therapists to work in a more curious and anti-oppressive way to create a safe therapeutic space for clients of all sizes, but especially to those in bigger bodies. Due to the cultural narrative of body size, unfortunately we are all biased and run the risk of unknowingly discriminating our clients if we haven’t done this work.
We create safe, nourishing and empowering communities by bringing people together to discuss this shared experience. The power of being able to talk about this so openly with others is always mentioned in the feedback.
We offer two WORKSHOPS:
“Enlightening, challenging & thought provoking
– brilliantly presented.”
Part 1: Unravelling Body Shame: an indepth exploration of anti-fat bias and body acceptance
A safe, nourishing and empowering space to help you reflect on how you feel about bodies, unlearning body shame whilst exploring body acceptance and anti-fat bias.
Part 2: Anti-fat Bias in the Therapy Room
(for therapists who have attended day 1)
An experiential workshop specifically for therapists to become more curious & anti-oppressive in their work with clients of all sizes.
“It gave me huge insight into how so many of us hold personal trauma related to our bodies.”
