Stronger Minds

Show Notes

Working with food is rarely just about food. As a practitioner you often encounter: Resistance and ambivalence Confusion and conflicting messages Emotional eating and avoidance Shame, control, and identity issues Clients who 'know what to do' but can’t do it Your own biases and assumptions And over time, this work can feel: Slow Uncertain Emotionally demanding Most practitioners are trained in what to recommend but far fewer are supported in how to work when things don’t go to plan.

The Practice Lab is twice-monthly a psychologist-led reflective practice group designed to support allied health professionals such as dietitians, PTs, nutritionists, nutritional therapists, and early career pracitioner psychologists and counsellors, developed to help you navigate complexity with more clarity, confidence, and clinical skill.
