Description
Diets and weight loss talk are normative in our culture, and this preoccupation with body size and food has a profound effect on the mental and physical health of our clients. In this session, we’ll take an in-depth look at a client’s experience with multiple therapists on her journey to cultivate a healthy body image, confront weight stigma, and make peace with food. We’ll consider how our own views toward body size and food impact what we offer clients, and we’ll explore strategies to unlearn diet culture for ourselves and with our clients.
