These days, there are fewer topics that garner as much emotion or opinion as the topic of one’s weight. The nuanced layers for individuals and populations certainly are ‘heavy’ to say the least. After working in the field of weight management and obesity care for two decades as a dietitian and health psychologist, Nina Crowley, PhD, has amassed an arsenal of experiences that highlight the complexity of discussing, conveying and giving recommendations about changing one’s weight. She will share these with you to help you find the best ways to consider the psychology of weighing and weight in your particular practice.
In this webinar sponsored by seca TRU, Crowley will take you through a brief history of weighing and review the birth of bias and stigma around weight. She will share clinical tips and tricks to integrate into your counseling approach to ensure you are optimizing your conversations by considering the unique components surrounding the psychology of weighing practices and weight. You will leave with some practical suggestions for how to approach conversations with more sophisticated tools to individualize patient care and help your patrons achieve better physical and mental health.
