Resilient Rhythms:
A Support Group for Food, Self-Care, and Stress Patterns in a Changing Economy
February 18 - May 7 |
6:30-8CT
Resilient Rhythms is a therapist-led support group exploring how stress, scarcity, and uncertainty shape our food patterns, self-care habits, and emotional reactions. Learn to understand your behaviors, develop healthier rhythms, and build resilience—no shame, no judgment, just support and insight.WHAT TO EXPECT
In today’s economic climate, many people find themselves slipping into familiar patterns with food, spending, self-care, and emotional regulation. These patterns aren’t just habits—they’re ways we’ve learned to cope with uncertainty, pressure, and overwhelm. Resilient Rhythms is a therapist-led support group designed to help participants better understand these behaviors, build insight, and develop healthier, more compassionate routines.
This group focuses on exploring:
Emotional and behavioral patterns around food
Stress responses related to financial pressure
Self-care avoidance or over-functioning
People-pleasing and overextending oneself to “stay in control”
Shame cycles that drive unhelpful behaviors
Ways to build stability, even when external conditions feel unstable
The goal isn’t perfection—it’s awareness, empowerment, and building sustainable practices that support well-being during challenging times.
❋ PURPOSE
Adults feeling stressed or overwhelmed by current economic pressures
Individuals who notice patterns of emotional eating, restriction, or chaotic food behaviors
People who struggle to maintain balanced self-care during uncertainty
