Description

  • Help your clients avoid the diet/binge trap
  • From shame to empowerment
  • Transform your client’s relationship with food & body
  • Implement the 3 steps of attuned/intuitive eating
  • Strategies to overcome emotional overeating
  • Binge Eating Disorder and Obesity
  • Impact of Weight Stigma

  • Are you unintentionally contributing to the shame (and failure) that many clients experience who struggle with food and weight?
  • Do you view the pursuit of weight loss as positive self-care?
  • Do you believe that if your clients understand the underlying reasons why they overeat then they’ll be able to control this behavior?

These are some of the assumptions I made when I first began to treat eating and weight issues. If you’re like me, you didn’t receive training on this topic. Even if you don’t specialize in eating disorders, many of your clients are likely to experience angst about their eating and/or weight, which can affect other issues including anxiety and depression.

You may even struggle with eating and weight concerns yourself.

In this comprehensive one-day seminar I will teach you how to help your clients avoid the diet-binge trap and learn an approach that will put them in charge of their eating – no more relying on willpower!

You will also learn transformational strategies and up-to-date research to address challenges facing higher weight clients, as you discover your own attitudes toward body size in a safe and supportive environment.

This seminar is a must attend if you work with clients who experience any of the following:

  • History of unsuccessful dieting
  • Concern about weight for appearance or health
  • Unsatisfying or unhealthy relationship with food
  • Diagnosis of Binge Eating Disorder
  • Shame about eating patterns and body image
