Healing Chronic Illness
An ongoing healing group presented by
LifeWorks
Healing chronic illness is a unique and personal journey. Chronic illness takes us down an
unwanted path of change, divorced of our decided-upon desires for our life. Unwantedly so, and,
despite ourselves, this path can lead to our greatest dreams, desires, passions, and essence.
Healing chronic illness is a true act of courage, grit, determination and passion.
I invite you to take this unforgettable journey with myself, and the group participants.
This group will meet weekly for 1-1/2 hours on an undetermined weekday. Each group is limited
to 8 participants. A 6-month commitment is required for group cohesion and consistency. The
projected start date for this group is September, 2006. Please contact Carol A. Scarpino, M.A. at
415-305-0864 or e-mail cscarpino@caslifeworks.com to set up an assessment interview appt.
Weight-Loss Mgmt.
An ongoing support group presented by
LifeWorks
The act of losing weight can be a very simple and easy process. Unfortunately, for most people,
the process is quite complicated by a myriad of emotional, psychological, physical & sometimes,
even physiological processes (i.e. weight-gaining medications), which makes losing weight
extremely difficult to near impossible. As a result, the constant experience of failure leads to
ever-increasing despair, frustration, and helplessness. In turn, these results only exacerbate the
very dynamics that are preventing you from losing weight in the first place, creating a downward
spiral that leads you further and further away from your goal.
Addressing these obstacles becomes your only option in achieving your goals. In this group, we
will explore these issues/obstacles, and, in that process, you will become empowered to take
charge of your life and regain control around food, and finally experience the lasting success you
have long awaited. In conjunction with this, we will also have brief educational presentations
focused on practical weight-loss issues.
