Co-Dependency Lecturer/Counsellor
I’ve been an addiction counsellor since 1984 specialising in co-dependency and dedicated to helping people overcome their addictions with the empirical knowledge I’ve gained over the years through research and study.
My career has combined lecture tours, workshops, seminars across Australia and the United States working with Dr. Sandra Cabot, the Liver Cleansing Diet Specialist and Author since 2002.
Courage to Change
During my years of research into emotional overeating, I found one of the major problems that kept people from achieving their goal weight was their limited belief system.
No matter what they did - what diet they pursued or how much they exercised - nothing happened. Their limited belief system held them back, or their achievements were short-lived.This limited belief system is the reason behind the negative self-talk, which leads to negative feelings, which lead to emotional overeating.
I specialise in co-dependency and the impact that brain chemistry has on one's inability to lose weight.
If you are looking for an answer to your emotional overeating problem, you have come to the right place.
You can:
- Control emotional eating.
- Eliminate toxic beliefs and negative feelings
- Understand the often-complex nature of brain chemistry and its impact on addictive behaviour, including overeating.
- Develop strategies to help you in your quest to lose weight and keep it off.
- Change your thinking to change your feelings to change your behaviour.
Recovery Program
Courage to Change is about learning how to create a life worth enjoying and how to deal with your thoughts and emotions without turning to food, drugs, alcohol, shopping, sex, gambling, etc.
My Courage to Change Counselling Program assists clients to get to the root cause of their overeating disorder or other self-sabotaging behaviours.
- Understand how your limiting ideas and concepts influence your dieting success
- Learn how to overcome your emotional overeating connection
- Develop new stress coping mechanisms
- Understand how brain chemistry can affect your inability to lose weight
- Relationship difficulties are another aspect of co-dependency requiring professional help.
