Workshop on Transcending Emotional Eating
Saturday April 11th
2:00-4:30 Workshop – “Transcending emotional eating”.
Principal psychologist from Weight Management Psychology, Previous Director of Psychology for the WesleyLifeshape Clinic, and
Consulting Psychologist for Queensland Bariatrics, Glenn Mackintosh
provides a psychologically minded, evidence-based model for overcoming
the common challenge of emotional eating in people looking to effectively manage their
body weight.
As well as causing significant psychological distress,
emotional eating is a major barrier to reaching and maintaining a
healthy weight. However, psychology offers an understanding of
emotional eating and strategies to overcome it, helping people free
themselves of emotional eating, and achieve and maintain healthy weights
more successfully.
Translating conclusive research into clinical practice,
Glenn Mackintosh provides a
comprehensive, evidence-based, psychological model for transcending
emotional eating.
