THIS QUOTE SAYS IT ALL!

THIS QUOTE SAYS IT ALL!

Before I move on to the details and logistics of this group, I think it might be helpful to hear about results and feedback from participants of previous groups:

“Dr. Joy! Joy joy, joy! You absolutely nailed it for me last night, thank you so much for the support & confidence! The plan was glorious!  The universe has my back and I’m SO grateful you do too!!! Thank YOU for the utterly brilliant plan! I am seriously blissed out at the nights success.”

“It is a blessing to work with you too!  The groups have been so transformative for me, I can’t wait to see where another 6 months takes us.”

“Wooohooo signing up for the next group tomorrow….. I am so grateful for the continuing focused recovery.  I have learned so much"

"I love you Dr. Joy!!!!!! You are a brilliant beautiful soul and I’m so so grateful to have you as a resource in my life."

“You have led the way and I live in hope because you teach us that not only a new story is possible...from you I’ve learned to live and dream it too. Healing ❤️‍🩹  and growing 🐣 🐥”

“Our family is forever changed in so many ways because I was introduced to food recovery. Dr Joy, generations are  healing because you showed up to teach and lead by example.” 

“My mind has shifted  There have been a lot of crazy internal victories.”

"When I discovered Dr. Joy in my sixties, I noticed right away that she could listen to the details of my eating issues and brought compassionate understanding to my deep-seated motivations. By participating in her groups, I learned that I am not alone.  I could listen with fewer defenses and envision a path forward. Over time, I began to shed the circles of pain and frustration surrounding my eating behaviors, giving me the hope and eventual reality of transformation."

"No bingeing and I’m feeling very successful! I have also been implementing a positive reframe when I am bodychecking. Thank you for sharing this concept."

"Dr. Joy's group coaching has been an incredible learning experience and great support."

"I CAN make changes.  Realizing how much of my subconscious stories have been ones of stagnation and hopelessness.  Seeing they're wrong actually makes me cry with relief and happiness!"

"Until I discovered your recordings, I really thought I was pretty crazy...and never understood how a bright, accomplished person could not gain control over this."

"I kinda believe the universe has my back and life loves me.  Can't help but feel some thanks to you are in order!"

"I never have to binge again!  Miracles do happen and more importantly I am learning that it is okay for me to receive miracles… thanks to you!"

"It's such a relief to feel this stability and lack of stress.  I'm quite sure it's due to looking after my nervous system on a daily basis.  So grateful to be learning these strategies that give me the ability to really engage in my life."

“Today is 3 years of no flour and sugar. All thanks to you and BLE!! (But mostly you).” 

"I had a great time on vacation and stayed sane the entire 14 days.  I couldn't ask for more.  My most peaceful vacation yet in the entire 4 years I have been in BLE. Stepping back and noticing the accomplishment is part of my recovery."

"Being a part of this group makes me feel like I'm being held and hugged. I've always said that there's nothing like a group of women and having BLE in common makes it that much better. I've been enjoying the new habits of the meditations and EFT. I first learned EFT about 15 years ago but it didn't become my practice. I can already sense a shift in my being and I feel like I'm creating a new, healthy  foundation for a more aware, healthy life. This is an exciting adventure!"

Outcomes like this inspire me to continue to offer a group coaching experience and to have a mindset of continuous improvement. 

Recently, a graduate of my group shared her fabulous before and after pics with our community. 

Even knowing her hard work and dedication over many months and several sessions of group, I have to say I was floored. She credited the group and the relationships she developed within our group environment as pivotal to getting her to goal.

Miracles like this are possible with just a little extra support and dedicated attention to YOU and your specific needs.

You do not need to suffer alone anymore. You are not incurable.

Help is available to you.

There are limited spots available.

It is an incredible opportunity for you to get the help and support you want–both from me and your peers–in an affordable and effective way. It is an incredible value for anyone looking to up their game and maximize the benefits they receive from their program.

In the group, you will receive personal attention, plus the amazing and “game changing” support of a group to hold space for you on a daily basis as you embark on potentially massive change. This group promises to carry you with more ease than you may have felt in a long time.

I have a deep, personal commitment to you.

“Quiet reflection that at the beginning of the summer, I couldn’t imagine going to a concert without consuming NMD. End of summer, it hasn’t crossed my mind once to have any NMD/NMF in the week following dropping my son off at school for the first time. So grateful to Joy Jacobs, everyone in this group who has been so kind, and to myself for taking this leap of faith. 💫 ✨ 💫 ✨ 💫 ✨” 

"I have so much peace around food and my body that I didn’t have before. You really helped me to clarify what I was struggling with and I’m so grateful.

And no binges!!"

"I love that I am not at all the same person as even when I began with you...I am so grateful for this opportunity to not only understand that recovery is possible but I am truly doing it.  Healing my brain is happening. Woohoo!”

"Lingering in the gratitude and also remembering what it is liked to be swallowed by the addiction - it is a suffocating place with NO connection - not  with body or anyone else.  Thanks for being there and the work that you do.  It is literally life saving."

"I feel a deep honor to have this opportunity to work recovery with Dr. Joy and this group!"

"Appreciating all the growth and shifting and support of this amazing group. It has been truly life changing and healing."

"Thank you for serving us all with your wisdom, brilliance, creativity and incredibly kind care."

"I have so much more to learn! Also I'm committing right now to sign up for your next round, it really stressed me out to not know if it was the right decision or if I 'should' be able to manage on my own etc. etc. Being in your group helps me and provides me with a smaller environment to make meaningful connections, I'm going to go with that. And not use group as another thing I can't stop doing until I'm perfect or shouldn't do because I should be blah blah blah. How about I just do it because I love it and it helps me and I want to grow! Thank you for the opportunity!"

SUMMARY OF GROUP INFORMATION

The group will meet on the first, second and fourth Mondays of the month, from 4-5:30pm Pacific from November 6—April 15, inclusive. Exceptions listed above. We will meet by Zoom (video, that also has telephone options).

It will be a round robin group, where everyone has a chance to share and receive focused, personalized attention tailored to your unique needs and challenges.

Additional powerful feedback from members of recent groups on their experiences:

“I’m a little perplexed that (with all the damn therapy, rehab & other time spent working with a number of “caring” practitioners) that no one has ever thought to approach the “bingeing” from THAT angle, which incidentally I think (just from what I’ve read so far) may be spot on! I even felt like I had “failed” in the 12 step world because over the years I’d been “fired” by 2 (almost 3) sponsors who could not understand WHY I kept messing up & convinced me to believe that I just wasn’t “praying hard enough” or  “turning it over” correctly. So thank you.”

"I can't tell you enough that I really felt your love for what you do and how safe and at ease I felt with you. I was surprised I could feel that so quickly!"

"The spiritual, psychological, and social support tools you have provided are a life saver."

"In our small pod, we were talking about how awesome it is watching you coach and model 'people' skills, empathy, boundaries, wisdom. Truly a master class every time. Thank you!"

"My disordered eating began when I was a teenager and persisted, off and on, throughout my life. I sought help from therapists and psychiatrists and although they helped most aspects of my life, my eating problems remained painful and embarrassing."

"I love that I am not at all the same person as even when I began with you...I am so grateful for this opportunity to not only understand that recovery is possible but I am truly doing it.  Healing my brain is happening. Woohoo!”

"Dr. Joy never ceases to surprise and delight me with her insights and feedback. I’ve worked with many therapists over the years and none has come close to the intelligence, sensitivity, and mastery of Dr. Joy."

“Sitting in the waiting room for my annual physical, and reflecting that I scheduled this appointment right around when our group started in May. Since then I have lost ~30 pounds and have meaningfully improved my blood pressure, which used to run on the high side. The blood pressure improvement is 💯 because of learning how to regulate my nervous system…. I’ve been this weight before with no change in my blood pressure. I’m grateful to all of you for this experience we are sharing together! 🎉Annual physicals make me nervous — I can imagine disaster around every corner. It’s nice to walk in knowing that I am taking the best care of myself that I can.”

"51 days Bright and experiencing a calmer brain, a slimming feel in my body and the most program support I’ve ever…asked for, allowed, requested. I’m believing that keeping my lines bright forever is a distinct possibility."

"Dr. Joy brings a rich background in addiction recovery, illuminating the hard truths and brilliant rays of light from 12-step programs. My only wish is that I had found her earlier in my life."

"Did my tapping because I was having some really intense cravings and food thoughts.  The tapping really calmed me and I was able to get through without eating! Score!"

"Thank you for everything you do. You have changed my life and I believe you will be the change the ED world needs."

"So good! I got tingles! ...Feels like just what I need to galvanize me on this runway into a new phase of my recovery"

"Dr. Joy never ceases to surprise and delight me with her insights and feedback. I’ve worked with many therapists over the years and none has come close to the intelligence, sensitivity, and mastery of Dr. Joy."

"Hi Dr Joy, I’ve been thinking about this since we talked and I just want to share it with you. I have for so long been so stuck and I’m not saying I’m unstuck yet, but I feel like there’s hope. As much resistance I had at times and  annoyance of the things that you wanted me to do . I kept doing it, which is unusual for me, but I felt like I didn’t have a choice anymore. I had to either listen to someone else or I would keep repeating the same hamster wheel, or it would have given up for good. I know I still have a long ways to go, but I just feel so much more complete, my mind races less. I’m so much more able to be in my own body in my own mind and I don’t think I’ve been there in a long time and my deepest gratitude to you for your course and we still have halfway to go. I can’t imagine what will happen by the end. Happy Saturday and love to you."

“Dr Joy—I wanted to let you know that I am doing very well . I feel fulfilled and happy. I can’t remember when was the last time I had a binge. Sometimes due to feeling embarrassed about my limited English I don’t speak in the group, but I want to express my eternal gratitude to you. I wanted to check in and thank you deeply for everything you give us in each session. Big hug.”

"I just wanted to thank you for this program. I feel so much shifting."

"So many wonderful miracles, from small shifts, to vacations to simply showing up!"

"I have experienced freedom I never thought possible with Dr. Joy and her group(s)."

"2 months No Bingeing, No NMD, No weighing, Bright Lines (not perfect but that is ok) on and on. Thank you."

"Truly you have helped me remember miracles are possible & keep holding the vision, as well as the example you set. Thank you."

"Thank you for your directness today and your love. You are very good at loving us when we don’t do a good job loving ourselves."

"I am speechless. This is such an amazing gift. I will treasure the belief and encouragement from you…because of your skill and heart in leading. I can claim recovery and continue to be my most centered self. So much gratitude."

"The tapping with Dr. Joy has helped me believe that recovery is possible!"

"Thank you Dr. Joy for your love, and wisdom that you so lovingly share with us."

"Recovery with you as my example and teacher is transformative."

"I love that Dr Joy nails things so well. I’m kind of in awe of her ability like that."

"Your work is revolutionizing my life. I am grateful."

"I feel like a shift inside is happening each day!"

“My doctor can not believe I have managed to lose 18 pounds. I feel so much better. I owe you big! Your wisdom is what finally helped me with an “aha “ turn around. YOU ARE AMAZING. I was not able to make a lot of the classes live because of my schedule. However, I dug in and listened and did what you said. Thank you . Thank you. You are an ANGEL, a very smart one.”

Dr. Joy

I am a recognized expert on eating disorders, food addiction, and body image concerns. It is my mission to guide you to the tools you need to feel better, now! I have a proven track record that you can rely upon as you undertake this courageous journey. 

Little known fact: I am a former editor at Vogue Magazine.  I have a passion for this stuff! It’s important (not “trivial” or “superficial,” as our inner critic might have us believe). I am uniquely qualified to help you with both your inner and outer transformation.

Frequently Asked

Questions

  • How do I know if this program is for me?

If you ever struggle with your eating habits, exercise habits, or body image and would like tools to help you feel better, almost immediately, this program will benefit you.  If you have been wanting hands on, expert guidance for your challenges in these areas, then this program is for you.

If you are doing well in the areas described above, but would like to enhance your skill set, learn cutting edge tools for personal growth and development, stress management and emotion regulation, this group will certainly benefit you as well.


  • I struggle with binge eating. Is this group right for me?

Absolutely! I provide many tools and tips for addressing and remedying binge eating.  You can move into recovery from binge eating, and it is my mission to help you get there if you are struggling.


  • I don't struggle with binge eating or overeating. Is this group a fit?

Yes. Group members experience a variety of eating challenges. We address a wide range of challenges and how to fix them. Although eating challenges often present in different forms, they often have common roots and require similar strategies to address them. Therefore, although on the surface someone may appear to have totally different challenges than you face, the solutions may be quite similar.  What helps them may ultimately help you as well.


  • I struggle with restrictive eating. Can you help me with this?

Yes, I can. I have a highly specialized background and training in helping those with restrictive eating disorders. That said, overcoming this challenge will require your full participation and potentially support of a local medical team. This group is not a substitute for inpatient or residential treatment, if you require that level of care. If you have any questions related to this, please contact me.


  • I struggle with compulsive overexercise. Is this addressed in the group?

If you struggle with this, I can help you! I have helped many clients recover from exercise addiction and return to health and physical activity in a balanced and joyful way.


  • I am a very private person. I don't love group experiences. Will this group work for me? Can't I just sign up for individual sessions with you?

I understand your concerns. If I were a betting person, I would venture to say that this group is different from any other group that you have participated in in the past. Essentially, I have created the group that I needed in my own healing path and could not find.

I have spent the past 20+ years vetting tools and experiences to bring you the best of the best when it comes to healing from your eating and related challenges.  I hope to save you the time spent going down ineffective or inappropriate paths.

I keep a very close eye on all group members and tailor my coaching specifically to your needs. I devote significant time and attention to make sure that the group remains a safe container. I make special efforts to assure that people in the group feel safe, supported, and included (as much or as little as they want).

Equally important, it is often easier to learn and to absorb new information, advice and strategies when someone else is being coached. Essentially, you “borrow the benefits” from other people’s coaching. This kind of growth and healing is impossible without the collective of the group.  Again, you can participate as much or as little as feels right for you. Most people end up finding that they are “group people” after all! They just weren’t in appropriate groups for them in the past.

The only way to work with me on an individual basis is to participate in this group experience. I believe so strongly in the tools and strategies taught in group, that it is an a essential foundation for the deeper dive that we do individually. The group curriculum is an essential foundation for all clients.  If the group times do not work for your schedule, you have continuous access to the recordings.  


  • Do I need to attend live?

No. Many of the members enrolled in my groups don't make the live workshops and still experience the same level of transformation as those who do.

All calls are recorded and uploaded to your portal, and you can write in questions to be answered - so you don't have to be there to get the same attention as someone who is.  


  • What if I miss a session?

All workshops are recorded and uploaded into your program portal, so you can listen whenever, wherever. Some of my group members have never attended a live session—they just listen to the recordings—and their entire life has still been supported and transformed because of the program.


  • What results can I expect?

Your results will be dictated by your willingness and consistency in applying the tools I teach you in group and individually. Your results will be further enhanced by your willingness to get and stay connected to a profoundly loving and supportive community of support found within this group. Group members who have consistently engaged with me and in the group process have made tremendous progress. Please review the testimonials to get a feel for the amazing results of many group members.


  • Do people ever work with you longer than 6 months?

Yes! I actually prefer it! Many group members have participated in multiple group sessions. Why is this? It’s not because they are not improving!  It’s because they are getting better and better and see the value of staying in a daily conversation of recovery. The truth is that if we are not staying in a conversation of recovery, we are losing ground. Recovery is hard work, but it can also be fun. My group members have been able to find the joy in the process of healing. It’s part of my mission and my commitment to you.  

The longer that I get to work with you, the more that I get to know you, and the deeper we can go in helping you to achieve full healing.

By the time many people get to this group, a part of them wonders if recovery is even possible. Once they get here and feel the incredible progress happening, it motivates them to continue the amazing momentum to create even more life-changing progress and healing.


  • How does Enhanced Support work?

Via the Enhanced Support option, you can get targeted support and guidance from me between coaching sessions.  This is literally Dr. Joy at your fingertips.  Enhanced support is conducted easily via a private messaging app, available on all platforms.  Members who choose Enhanced Support will have Office Hours Tu/Th 12-5pm in my time zone (excluding holidays and vacations).  Those with the Enhanced Support “Plus” option will have Office Hours, MWF 12-5pm in my time zone (excluding holidays and vacations).  Those with the Enhanced Support “Premium” option will have Office Hours Monday through Friday 12-5pm in my time zone (excluding holidays and vacations).  There is a maximum of 48 hour turn around time for questions. 


  • How long will I have access to the program?

You will have access to all group recordings until April 30, 2024, unless you are enrolled in another Dr. Joy program. If you choose to re-enroll in the next group session, you will maintain access to all of the recordings throughout the period of your new program as well.


If you have questions about the program that have not been answered here, please email admin@drjoyjacobs.com

Closer to the group starting date, you will receive an email with access information and guidelines for the group.

I look forward to sharing this powerful and hopefully life changing experience with you.

Finally, if you have friends or buddies, particularly those newer to BLE, please feel free to share this group information with them. One of my missions in life is to help anyone who wants to be, OUT OF THE DITCH. Let the remainder of this year be a recovery filled and joyful one for us all!

All my very best,
