In this presentation, creator of the Body Kindness philosophy, book, and podcast, will introduce the science behind the weight inclusive (non-diet) approach and the art of using this approach to achieve positive health and well-being outcomes for people with weight concerns.
You'll learn how to help clients reframe goals to center around values-driven actions they can take as opposed to externally-driven rules to follow. You'll study how psychology influences food choices and learn ways to help clients establish a positive mindset to regulate emotions and make rational choices through mindfulness-based skills of self-awareness, acceptance, and compassion.
Through the use of case studies, you will explore how these counseling skills can be applied in conjunction with medical nutrition therapy for diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and PCOS. By the end of this webinar, you will be more confident in helping clients change habits with a weight inclusive counseling approach and you'll have practical tips for "selling" the value of this approach to clients and health care team members.
