Happy Off the Scale: Emotional Healing in Bariatric and Weight Loss Care (Recorded)
It’s not about the tool — it’s about the transformation. Whether clients have had weight-loss surgery, take GLP-1 medications, or have cycled through countless diets, many find the scale shifting right back to the right side. This interactive training helps clinicians look beyond the physical tool to the emotional truth beneath it. Participants will learn how to identify underlying grief, shame, and identity conflict, and use neuroscience-informed strategies to support lasting behavioral change.
Through case studies, guided discussion, and self-reflection, attendees will leave equipped to help clients stay motivated and “happy off the scale.” This session combines clinical insight, real-world language, and heart-centered practice.
