Starting a weight management journey can feel overwhelming. Many people struggle with motivation, emotional eating, and maintaining long-term changes. If you have tried different diets or exercise plans without lasting success, group therapy using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques might be the support you need. In January 2026, a new CBT Weight Management Group Therapy program will begin, designed to help you build healthier habits, understand your behaviors, and connect with others on the same path.
What Is CBT Weight Management Group Therapy?
CBT is a type of talk therapy that focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. When applied to weight management, CBT helps participants recognize patterns that lead to overeating or unhealthy choices and develop practical strategies to overcome them.
Group therapy adds a social element. Participants meet regularly in a supportive environment to share experiences, challenges, and successes. This setting encourages accountability and motivation, which are often missing when trying to lose weight alone.
How This Therapy Group Can Help You
The January 2026 program offers a structured approach with clear goals and tools. Here’s what you can expect:
Understanding Triggers
Learn to identify emotional or environmental triggers that lead to unhealthy eating or inactivity. For example, stress at work might cause cravings for comfort food. Recognizing these triggers is the first step toward change.
Building Healthy Habits
The therapy focuses on small, manageable changes rather than drastic diets. You might work on mindful eating, meal planning, or incorporating physical activity into your routine.
Coping Skills for Setbacks
Everyone faces setbacks. The group will teach you how to respond without guilt or giving up. For instance, if you overeat at a social event, you’ll learn ways to get back on track without harsh self-judgment.
Goal Setting and Tracking
Setting realistic goals and tracking progress helps maintain motivation. The group setting allows sharing these goals and receiving encouragement.
Support and Connection
Being part of a group reduces feelings of isolation. Hearing others’ stories can inspire you and provide practical tips.
Who Should Join This Group?
This program suits anyone who wants to manage their weight with a focus on mental and emotional health. It is especially helpful if you:
Have tried diets without lasting results
Struggle with emotional eating or binge episodes
Want to improve your relationship with food
Prefer a supportive group environment over solo efforts
Are ready to commit to regular sessions and active participation
What to Expect in the Sessions
The group will meet weekly from 11:30 am - 12:20 pm for about 10 to 12 weeks. Each session lasts around 50 minutes and includes:
A check-in to discuss progress and challenges
Psychoeducation about CBT principles and weight management
Group discussions and exercises to practice new skills
Setting goals for the coming week
The sessions are led by a trained therapist experienced in CBT and weight management. Confidentiality and respect are core values to create a safe space for sharing.
Practical Tips to Prepare for the Program
To get the most from the group therapy, consider these steps before January:
Reflect on your current habits and challenges with weight management
Write down your goals and what you hope to achieve
Be ready to share your experiences openly and listen to others
Plan your schedule to attend all sessions consistently
Keep a journal to track your thoughts, feelings, and progress
Real-Life Example
One participant from a previous CBT weight management group shared how the program changed their approach:
"Before joining, I felt stuck in a cycle of dieting and bingeing. The group helped me see how stress triggered my eating. Learning to pause and use coping skills made a huge difference. Plus, hearing others’ struggles made me feel less alone. I lost weight steadily and, more importantly, gained confidence in managing my habits."
Why Starting in January 2026 Is a Great Opportunity
The new year often inspires people to set health goals. Joining this group therapy in January means you start with a fresh mindset and a community ready to support you. It’s a chance to build momentum early and carry it through the year.
How to Sign Up
Spaces in the group are limited to maintain a close, supportive environment. To register or learn more, contact the program coordinator early. Preparing ahead ensures you secure your spot and start your journey with confidence.
