The Sharing the Experience of a Gluten-Free Life

http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/a/e/0/event_88635072.jpegCurtis Brown, a psychoanalyst / psychotherapist diagnosed with celiac disease who maintains a gluten-free diet, will be facilitating a group discussion on how it feels to be gluten-free in a world of gluten. Like it or not we often stand out in the crowd because of our dietary needs. Navigating a safe sourceof food, learning the ins and outs of the diet, and feeling good about what we eat can be an emotional journey.

Brown will lead an open discussion forum for people to gather to share their experiences while hearing of the experiences of others. The group will be open to newly diagnosed or to anyone wishing to share their experience of living gluten-free.

Brown’s website: http://www.curtisbrownlcsw.com devotes an entire section to the emotional challenges ofliving a gluten-free life due to celiac or gluten-sensitivity. He has maintained a private psychotherapypractice for close to 20 years. He previously was the director or a hospital-based program whichprovided support groups allowing him to facilitate well over 500 group sessions. He is a faculty memberand supervisor for a post-masters training program in psychoanalyst / psychotherapy.
