Classes, Coaching and More!!!

If you haven't visited my website lately, you'll find some changes. As my therapy practice develops and I learn more, I want to share more of what I discover. Now when you click the Emotional Eating link, you'll find information about my Workshops in Pleasant Hill, new start dates and times for my Support Groups, and a brand new link to my COACHING page devoted to helping people stop eating compulsively.

"Why coaching" you ask? I'm discovering more and more people who want to learn the non-diet approach, but due to geography or other restrictions, can't attend my classes or groups in person. The coaching program is a personalized version of the 12-week group format - but delivered via email over 12 months. Clients are provided with monthly assignments. These include short articles to read, some journaling, as well as setting goals and taking steps to care for the emotions they've been eating over. I provide written feedback on all assignments as well as monthly tele-coaching sessions to answer questions, clarify goals and actions, and provide support and encouragement.

When needed, coaching clients are encouraged to work with a therapist in their area to get support and insight on any emotions that are particularly painful, or areas where they feel stuck.

For more info, visit www.julielevin.com/freedomcoaching.htm. There, you'll find the first month's assignments so you can get a preview of the program - or a head start!

Let me know what you think of these changes and new options.

Warm regards,
Julie
