CPD 2017 - working with obesity - looking at food addiction and binge-eating disorder
We owe it to our clients who are struggling with:
- compulsive overeating
- poor body image
- yo-yo dieting
- binge-eating
- food addiction
- emotional eating
- obesity
- obsession with food and weight
We owe it to them to offer them as much help as we can, because there aren’t many services who are offering therapeutic/psychological help to this client group
There aren’t any services who can teach clients about a model of recovery that gives free care for life.
This CPD workshop will offer you the opportunity to introduce the 12 step model to your clients. It will help you gain insight both professionally and personally.
Aims and objectives:
- To gain an understanding of a therapeutic treatment for obesity incorporating the 12-step facilitation model.
