Decoding Food Cues
Thurs Sept 17th 6:30-8:00pm

One of our primary tasks as Dietitians is to support people to develop an understanding about the ways in which they interact with food, and eating which are both helpful and problematic in terms of health and wellbeing. We live in a tricky food supply environment, mixed in with a culture of food obsessions. Find out how we can contribute to breaking these cycles by supporting our clients to develop awareness.
  • Develop further understanding about how people are influenced by both internal and external cues
  • Explore reasons why people:
  1. start eating
  2. keep eating
  3. stop eating
  • How to engage this with clients to engage and develop their awareness
 
These webinars have been designed as offering most benefit when you're able to attend as we'll be doing activities within the webinar. You'll be able to see and hear each other, no matter where you are, and spaces will be strictly limited.

The wonderful Tara MacGregor from Practice Pavestones is holding her FINAL Counselling Skills Course in Canberra in September. I promise you, it is amazing, so if you're able to make it, I can't recommend it highly enough. At the end of the course, I felt more confident, calm and full to the brim with idea and inspiration.

What I'm reading

I'm going old school this month with these rippers:

Fat is a Feminist Issue (Susie Orbach)
Women, Food & God (Geneen Roth)
What I'm watching

In all honesty, I'm totally engrossed in "Glitch" on iView (anyone mention *ahem* Rodger Corser & Patrick Brammall???), but I do love a good TED Talk.....my absolute all-time fave is Brene Brown - The Power of Vulnerability

 
Please keep in touch, contact me or share with colleagues....with thanks & gratitude!
