What if you could help your clients feel better about their bodies...
...and forge ahead with dreams and goals that have been linked to weight loss...

Watch Dr. Margit Berman, developer of Accept Yourself!, a self-acceptance-based intervention that integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with a weight-neutral, non-dieting, body liberation framework of care, as she teaches you step-by-step, effective treatment of weight-related concerns. You’ll learn:
Give your clients a lasting sense of self-acceptance and powerful commitment to the values that matter most to them – PURCHASE TODAY!
