Relapse and Alternative Addictions
Losing weight is no easy task. But it's not just tough on your body - it can be emotionally taxing, as well. Join clinical psychologist, Dr. Leslie Seppinni, to learn about the 'emotional DNA' that shapes your behavior and the emotional dynamics that lead to alternative addictions. She'll give you lifelong tools for coping with your emotional connection between food and stress, and prepare you for the dramatic aftermath of weight loss.
You'll discover how to: - Overcome negative emotions from weight fluctuation
- Identify the true cause of your compulsive behavior
- Define your 'personal truth' to shape your future success
- Handle unexpected changes in your relationships
- Tackle relapse through 'alternative addiction'
- Celebrate your successes and find value within yourself.
Be prepared to develop your inner strength and resiliency. This class will change your life! |
