Treating eating disorders & weight issues shouldn't be a specialty

Publisher: Beyong Words Publishing, Inc. Soft Cover: 160 pages ISBN: 1-58270-037-0, $14.95 Body Sense allows you to confidently treat weight issues and eating disorders on an outpatient basis. It shows you how weight is a symptom of other problems. Body Sense: Balancing Your Weight and Emotions is your must-know guide to hidden connections that drive food use, from stress eating to eating disorders. It's a great handbook to accompany therapy because it contains exercises the author/therapist has developed during her 17 years in working with eating disorders. The Forget About Diets online course will give your clients even more ammunition. Body Sense differentiates from other self-help weight books because it provides readers with the same process the author has successfully used in her therapy office. You'll get straight talk combined with therapist-tested strategies and compassionate new insights to face down not only weight problems, but also feel more confident in relationships and jobs. This book will help you put the past off your plate whether it has resulted in weight problems, destructive relationship patterns or lack of self-confidence!
