Description

Many clients recognize the use of unhealthy eating habits to cope with anxiety, depression, and even trauma …

… and as a clinician, you know those habits often exacerbate the very mental health conditions you are aiming to address. But the last thing you want to do is come off as preachy, judgmental, or insensitive.

That’s why psychologist and mindfulness expert Dr. Pavel Somov has used his over 25 years of clinical experience to develop a unique and effective approach to helping clients with emotional eating: Mindful Emotional Eating (MEE). Drawing on the trusted approaches of Effective Emotional Eating and Harm Reduction, MEE could be your key to building mindful eating habits and cultivating a healthier relationship with food!

Dr. Somov will give you:

  • Powerful strategies for helping clients (or even yourself) control triggers
  • Cutting-edge techniques for improving client’s relationships with weight
  • Guided practice for mindfulness, breaking harmful patterns, and being more aware of choices
  • Ways to manage stress, fear, boredom, and more for less impact on eating habits

Don’t miss your opportunity to help your clients improve their mental and physical health and give them the power to take back control of their lives.
