How to Empower and Motivate Others to Lasting Change

Episode 91. Part 2 of my coffee chat with Dr. Sapna Doshi is here! So grab your favorite beverage of choice and join us for an honest conversation about the fields of weight management, eating disorders, and health. Our goal in this 2-part series is to have these episodes be relevant for: People (whether you are an individual looking for an empowering healthcare team) who want to be inspired and motivated to create optimal health and thrive Clinicians who work with people on their health, eating, and/or weight who want to have a full range of options and strategies to help their clients thrive and feel empowered and excited about their health journey What to Expect in This Interview In this interview, we cover: What most people truly want in a provider (e.g., therapist, dietitian, other helping profession) What people don't want, but as providers we are often pulled to do How the concept of psychological flexibility can be so crucial for providers Why working on yourself and your own therapist or provider parts is always needed to continue to guide and empower your clients and patients in the most effective way How the framework of Self-Determination Theory helps us understand what truly works to motivate and empower others Some common client/patient presentations that can elicit anxiety in providers (ranging from weight gain as a response to intuitive eating to the opposite, having a client wanting to lose weight when their provider is recommending a non-diet approach) How to adopt a non-shaming growth mindset versus a fixed mindset when it comes to all things weight, health, eating, and helping others Also! If you are a therapist, dietitian or helping professional looking to learn more about the best ways to support and empower your clients... Sapna and I are planning some super cool workshops and learning community opportunities just for you! Next workshop is on Friday April 21st from 12:00pm to 1:00pm. Sign up today using this link!
