What’s Emotion Coaching, and why do you need it?
As dietitians in the field of eating disorders, you already know that working with emotions is a huge part of the work. Eating disorders are a way of coping with or avoiding emotion, and when we interrupt the symptoms of eating disorders these strong emotions come to the surface. This can interrupt progress in nutrition counseling and be overwhelming for clients, caregivers and dietitians alike.
Emotion coaching is a system of deep validation that will help you engage, connect, and develop rapport with complex clients with eating disorders (and other clients too!). In this course, Drs. Katherine Henderson and Shari Mayman, will take you through the emotional underpinnings of eating disorders. They will teach you the steps to attuning to your clients, increasing their ability to tolerate emotions as well as their trust in you, to facilitate behavioral change. Using humour and interactive, experiential exercises, you will learn an essential counselling skill that will change the way you practice.
This course will enhance your practice by:
Giving you the necessary tools to address support your client’s deep emotional experiences while staying within your scope of practice
Access to 6 hours of pre-recorded modules + 3 LIVE Q&A calls that include experientials and role playing
Resources and handouts that you can use right away in your practice
