Abstract
People living with obesity frequently have low self-esteem and a negative body image. Their relationship with their body is painful, which can lead them to dissociate themselves from it. This detachment is not conducive to lasting behavioural change. The "Awakening the Senses" programme offered to a group of patients at the Therapeutic Patient Education Unit combines aspects of cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness and art therapy. Its aim is to help patients reconnect with their bodies through sensory and creative experiences. This article presents the programme, the clinical observations made and the results of the various evaluations carried out.
