Participants will learn practical strategies to develop a healthier mindset and sustainable habits to help lose weight with empirically supported strategies.CBT is a powerful therapeutic approach for tackling the psychological and emotional elements that significantly impact eating behaviors, weight management, and overall health. This method equips individuals with essential tools to recognize and alter detrimental thought patterns that lead to unhealthy eating habits and diminished motivation.Through CBT, individuals learn to identify cognitive distortions—such as all-or-nothing thinking, overgeneralization, and catastrophizing—that can skew their perception of food and body image.
