I actually think that's a bargain. Therapy in my area is 175$/hr. 450$ would get you just over 2 and a half hours. Someone who is helping with ie should be a therapist of some sort so the price seems in line with that. If you don't want individual therapy, the price would drop. Patti

$450/month? What was that for daily sessions? Whatever it is I agree with you, it's way too much for average folk. What part of the country do you live in, if you don't mind me asking? Good luck with what ever you find. This group is really good. Sandy

How does one find a coach locally that is reasonably priced?? I found one yesterday that was $450 a month and I thought if I could afford that I'd be able to afford the plastic surgery to remove all the fat. I don't have a problem with people making a living but I do have a problem paying even more money into the body image/weight loss arena. So too me it has to be comparable to any other medical appointment. I'd like to find a naturopath around here who is into IE. That would be ideal for me I think. But other than call each one and ask I don't know how to find one and I haven't had the time to make all those calls during office hours.

The owner of this group - Gillian Hood-son - is an IE coach who does group and individual coaching over the phone. You may want to check out her web site - Healthier Outcomes - or email her about what she offers/rates etc. - gillian@.... I and a few other of the members here have benefited from her services. She has attended workshops with Elyse Resch and Tribole and also has worked with Dr. May's Am I Hungry? program too.

Ultimately each of us must find our 'own' way and re-connect with our bodies as works for us. Early on Gillian shared with me a book that her mentor wrote - Un-dieting. It was a bit heavy for me at my beginning stage, but it did contain much meaningful information and 'exercises' (not physical) to help one in discovery and resolving internal issues about eating.
