Despite the widespread assumption that anyone can successfully lose weight and keep it off, some critics of the $60-billion-a-year weight-loss industry insist that, in the long run, diets actually make us fatter. This 4-part streaming-video webcast series explores what therapists need to know about helping clients who have weight concerns.
Session 1: Is Attuned Eating the Answer to Diet Failure?
Judith Matz
Find out why dieting often makes us fatter, how attuned eating works, why weight management may be preferable to traditional weight-loss approaches, and what the physiology of dieting teaches us about why weight loss is so difficult.
Session 2: Skills for Successful Dieting
Judith Beck
Learn about the mental attitudes necessary for successful dieting and discuss the key to effective weight loss. Help clients to learn pre-dieting skills, food selection, and how to stay motivated for life.
Session 3: Achieving Health at Every Size
Linda Bacon
Learn how science challenges the conventional views about weight and health, how weight-loss goals undermine a client's ability to achieve good health habits, how to help clients reframe their weight concerns and find what they're really seeking, and how to emphasize the importance of self-nourishment.
Session 4: Overcoming Compulsive Eating
Geneen Roth
Join us for this intriguing conversation about the roots of our relationship with food, why eating is inseparable from our core beliefs about being alive, how to trust your body, and how to demystify weight loss.
