Applying the core Craving Change® concepts in your one-on-one practice!
“I don’t usually talk to my patients about their thoughts and feelings – I need more direction to help me initiate a cognitive-behavioural discussion with confidence!”
“My patients think it’s corny to talk about an iceberg! Help!”
“I’m familiar with the Craving Change® approach . . . but it would be great to strengthen my core individual counselling skills such as validation, normalization and reflection.”
Guaranteed to spark “ah-ha” moments for you and your clients, Wendy Shah RD and Colleen Cannon PhD, RPsych will present new methods and tools to help your clients move from discouragement to discovery.
Join this highly respected and engaging team for a half-day advanced Craving Change® workshop that is practical, interactive and insightful.
Core best-practice theory will be translated into real-life exercises for enhancing patient engagement and motivating behaviour change. Expect to speak up and to leave with ideas and inspiration.
