When I work with clients, it is scary to let go of trying to diet for weight loss.

And there's so many messages in our culture when you lose weight, then you'll be happy and sexy

kinds of ways to support them in practicing behaviors, developing positive, sustainable

behaviors to integrate into their lives. Welcome to Therapist Uncensored.

what activates us, what makes us feel threat, the expectation, and it's these differences that

are held in our body, not our thoughts, and they influence how we talk, how we love, how we fight.
