With the help of the Craving Change training and tools, non-therapist clinicians feel more confident to discuss cognitive-behavioral concepts with their clients. Here’s what a Certified Craving Change Clinician shared about using techniques from the ‘ABC’s of CBT’ resource:
“I find it helpful to introduce the idea of cognitive distortions with my patients by presenting the different types of cognitive distortions and then asking patients to identify 1 or 2 that seem to fit their thinking patterns and exploring these further such as asking them how they think this thinking habit works for or against their approach to food and eating.”
“I work with many patients who have a rigid view of food from previous diets and childhood experiences. The idea of shifting away from an all-or-nothing mindset with foods and labelling foods as “good” or “bad” has helped my patients find a place of food acceptance and food freedom. In particular, the ‘Adopt an 80/20 Mindset’ concept.”
