How to convince your clients to go to therapy (for dietitians and other helping professionals)

Episode 98. Today's episode is directly from an amazing community member question. Her question was: I would love to know ways that I, as a dietitian, can support my clients and even ways to help nudge them toward working with a therapist if they aren't already. Are there simple ways to help explain the importance of therapy, mindset, stress on weight loss goals? Any books, trainings, other resources you could share would be wonderful! Have you ever had a question like this? If you are a dietitian or other helping professional, my guess is you have. If you've ever had a question like this (or a similar one, like how do I get my therapy client to go see a dietitian, or how do I get my partner to go to therapy, etc), you'll love this episode!​ Getting someone to change or do anything is a challenge of course. Instead of convincing or coercing, we are going to talk about ways to get curious and help them do the same. Join Our Upcoming Workshop! Sign up today to join!
