It’s not just eating a pint of ice cream after a break-up. If you’re a wellness professional, you must understand emotional eating. It’s likely at the root of many of your clients’ issues. Get informed, here.
Understanding emotional eating is one thing, but being able to recognize it in your clients and help them conquer it is another. This video series will teach you everything you need to:
From hormones and neurotransmitters to relationships and environment, Keri discusses the real reasons why we emotionally eat and what happens in our bodies and brains.
Many different underlying emotions can drive people to overeat. Keri reviews several common personas and how specific emotions can affect how a person eats.
Some clients will readily proclaim, “I’m an emotional eater!” Other clients may not identify so easily. Keri teaches the right questions to ask to uncover emotional eating and how to interpret a client’s response.
Keri will walk you through the keys to successful interviews and how to build relationships with your clients, earn their trust, and let them know you’re on the same team, especially if you uncover they emotionally eat.
Keri will share her go-to strategies and counseling techniques for working with clients who emotionally eat. You’ll also receive tools and handouts to use in your sessions with your clients.
In Keri’s case studies you’ll see exactly how to put the whole process together so you can feel confident working with clients who struggle with emotional eating. You’ll learn from real world examples so you can raise your confidence in working with challenging circumstances and clients and be a more successful health practitioner.
Keri explains the true meaning of emotional eating and the precise difference between emotional eating and cravings. You'll learn exactly how emotions can dictate our food choices and the major things happening inside your clients’ brains and bodies that are encouraging them to emotionally eat. Keri will go through the main hormones and neurotransmitters at play and the mechanisms of how emotions can alter the way they function (in a way that you can totally understand!). She'll also cover all the non-science stuff behind emotional eating, like environmental and cultural factors affecting your clients' food choices and eating habits. After this lesson you'll understand the two BIGGEST problems with regular emotional eating and have a solid foundation for working with clients who emotionally eat.
Emotional eating is way more complex than most people realize and can manifest in different ways for different people. In this lesson you'll get up close and personal with several types of emotional eaters you may encounter in your client base. Keri will go through several common emotional eating personas, talk about how you can identify these clients during your sessions and discuss different strategies you can use to help your clients work through their emotional challenges and eating habits. After this lesson you'll understand which questions you need to be asking your clients and how to search for key clues as to why your clients are struggling to lose weight that you might have missed before.
This lesson is all about strategy and will provide you with the tools you need to be successful when working with emotional eaters. Keri will give you the exact questions to ask during client interviews, trusted tools to use in your office, and specific strategies to implement with each type of emotional eater. She'll also teach you how to handle emotional non-eaters - those are the clients who stop eating when their emotions get out of control - and how to recognize when clients need other experts like psychologists or doctors to join your support team. After this lesson you'll be feeling more confident about identifying and working with emotional eaters and be armed with the tools you need (AKA lots of handsouts!) to better support your clients.
Keri will walk you through several real-world case studies so you can see the whole counseling process in action. You'll learn how to recognize hidden behaviors that you previously may have missed and how to guide a client to uncover this information. You'll see exactly how Keri handles sessions with clients who emotionally eat and the specific strategies she implements and tools she uses. You'll see how to help clients overcome their emotional eating and finally reach the initial goals they set when you first started working with them, and also what to do when clients continue to struggle and how you can support them. After this lesson you'll feel totally confident, knowledgeable and prepared to help your clients conquer their emotional eating for good!
