Description

Evidence-based Strategies to Help your Client:

  • Live free of food and weight obsession
  • Develop a healthy relationship with food and body
  • Find healthy and effective coping strategies

Food addiction is a controversial subject in the field and can be very difficult to treat. Obese or normal weight compulsive overeaters are being treated without looking at the possibility of addiction. They are being taught to eat all foods in moderation and for some people this will never work.

From this program, you will learn how to help people who have tried everything and failed. Expert, author and speaker, Dr. Rhona Espstein Psy.D, will show you a new evidence-based treatment model that can transform lives that have been torn apart by the devastation of out of control eating and obesity. You will leave with practical tools, strategies and a new and effective way of thinking about the problem. Discover how to bring hope to your clients in an area where hope has been lost.
