As a mental health specialist at a Primary Care Network in Alberta, Kristi Metz, MSW RSW has facilitated Craving Change workshops for years. As she mentions below, the Craving Change workshops often stimulate private ‘ah-ha’ revelations for attendees which can be a catalyst for seeking more in-depth counselling. Here’s what she has to say about using the cognitive-behavioural approach in her practice.
“I have taught Craving Change workshops and utilized the content for many years. I am committed to the program as the format, layout and content is always well received, easily integrated and highly beneficial to my client base. Workshops prompt personal reflection and often lend as a gentle nudge to bring those who may need additional support into my individual therapy practice.”
“I always find that the Craving Change workshop content empowers clients to take control of their eating behaviors. The normalizing effect of the program supports clients to move from guilt, shame and powerlessness to a place of awareness, improved confidence and preparedness. They are equipped with options that are not overwhelming but make sense to them and are easily integrated into their existing routine.”
