Is this course for you?

Have you been on many, many different “diets” and lost the same half a stone several times over? Written by Counselling Psychologist (and ex-yoyo dieter) Cath Kerr and Dr Liz Royle, this course is about the inner psychological battle that prevents you from achieving and maintaining what you want. It teaches seven key steps to break free from the constant yoyo dieting by working from the inside out.

Does this sound like you?

· Have you been on lots and lots of different “diets” and lost the same half a stone several times over?!!

· Does part of you know what you should be doing, and another part seems to sabotage you?

· Is your relationship with food a constant battle?

· Is there a part of you that just can’t be bothered - it's too hard - and another part that's scared to stop trying?

· Do you know there isn’t a magic wand, but you keep looking and hoping for one?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this course is for you.

The story behind the course

Developed by Counselling Psychologist Cath Kerr and Dr Liz Royle, the course provides a rich combination of both professional and personal experience. Cath was a yo-yo dieter herself for over 30 years. With her colleague Liz, they have over 40 years’ experience of working with people whose lives are disrupted, limited and challenged by deep emotional issues. They wanted to apply what they considered the most effective psychological approach to help people break free from yo-yo dieting and issues with weight and live a richer, happier, more fulfilling life.

Using the psychological concepts in this course, Cath lost over 3 stones (20kg) but most importantly has kept it off for over 3 years. Although losing the weight has been a bonus, the most important aspect for Cath has been that she has totally changed her mindset, stopped yo-yo dieting and stopped looking for the next “quick fix”.

As Cath herself says “I have maintained this way of thinking by using the strategies we are going to share with you. I am happy in my own skin and with who I am, and I cannot begin to tell you how different my life is in ways I couldn’t have imagined because I have worked from the inside out.”

This course is not a diet or exercise programme. You probably know plenty about nutrition! It’s about the inner psychological battle that prevents you from achieving what you want. It’s about making real, long-term changes. It’s about reclaiming your power and your life by working from the inside out.
