The psychology of weight loss:
How to help your clients change their unhelpful eating habits
This pre-recorded course will help you deepen your understanding of the psychological factors which influence your clients’ attempts to lose weight. The course explains why so many people’s weight loss efforts flounder, and provides you with simple techniques for helping people to overcome these blocks and succeed.
You’ll learn how to incorporate up-to-date research from experimental, clinical and health psychology into your work with clients who want to lose weight or simply change their unhelpful eating habits.
You’ll learn about the psychology of habit change and what Working Memory is, and you’ll be able to explain these to clients in a way that enables them to understand why they’ve struggled in the past. Using this understanding, you’ll learn how to enable your clients to change those eating habits that keep their weight higher than they want.
The course will show you how you can assist your clients with two of the biggest issues in weight loss: willpower and motivation.
The emphasis is on practical, achievable and sustainable techniques and strategies, helping you to support your clients to change their eating habits for good.
The course includes a mix of presentation and exercises to enable you to develop additional skills related to the psychology of weight loss. You can undertake the course at your own pace, and as you get lifetime access, you can come back to it as and when you wish.
