There is a difference between intent and impact! In fact, the words you choose may have a much greater impact on clients who are recovering or battling an eating disorder than you think.

Christine Conti and Karli Taylor will discuss the power of words and their effect on either helping to heal or helping to trigger disordered eating. You will leave this webinar with a heightened awareness of the words you use with your clients and the tools needed to better support healthy behaviors.
