Summary
Discover the Unburdened Eating Intensive, Dr. Jeanne Catanzaro’s new live, small-group program that introduces a powerful Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach to transforming your relationship with food and your body.
If you find yourself caught in cycles of self-criticism, feeling “too much” or “not enough”, or trying to fix your body through plans that don’t bring change or lasting relief, this work offers a different path.
Through guided reflections, small-group exercises, and live demonstrations, you’ll get to know and start to heal the parts of yourself that criticize, control, or disconnect—and to begin building a more compassionate, trusting relationship with yourself and your body.
Tuition
Investment: $799 for the full intensive
Includes: Six live virtual group sessions with Dr. Jeanne Catanzaro and up to 20 IFS Credits. Professional CEs are pending review and are not yet confirmed for this program.
Scholarships

Decisions: All applicants will be notified by Friday, March 13th.
Who This Retreat is For
This intensive is designed for individuals with a foundational understanding of IFS who are seeking a deeper personal exploration of food-related and body-related parts, as well as IFS practitioners wishing to enhance their experiential learning in this area. This program is inclusive of all backgrounds, including non-therapists and those newer to the IFS model. However, this is not an introductory program, and a basic understanding of IFS is strongly recommended.
What You’ll Experience
Using the Internal Family Systems model, this program offers a structured and supportive space to build relationships with protective parts that manage food and body concerns, including parts that control, restrict, numb, disconnect, or criticize, and to gently access the pain these parts are protecting.
Rather than focusing on behavior change, this intensive emphasizes Self-leadership, curiosity, and compassion as the foundation for meaningful and sustainable change.
