Thanks so much for reaching out for support! Here are some things to consider when you are thinking about an entry point into the work of Body Trust®.
Many professionals who are new to Body Trust® like to start the work by doing our six week introductory e-course because it provides the foundation of doing your own personal work first. The course, No More Weighting has six weeks worth of modules with readings, videos, meditations, journaling exercises and a supported forum to share and discuss the work each week. So it is much more personal, and of course does not really touch upon using Body Trust as a professional. The course has a finite beginning and ending, with folks having access to the content for a full 90 days from the start of the program.
Some professionals who have been working from a HAES®/ Body Trust® approach for a while would rather start with our professional training programs instead. Our professional training programs are meant to provide structure and a container for learning how to speak the language, as well as tools for how to translate this into clinical practice. Much different than doing personal work.
Our email course for professionals, Promoting Body Trust in Your Workis designed to guide helping professionals in beginning to bring this approach into their work. The course is also the prerequisite for our certification program. It is delivered as a daily email for 4 weeks, 6 days per week and includes access to a resource area as well. It is pretty much entirely self-paced, begins immediately after you register, and the contents are available to you for as long as you save the emails and the resource area exists.
Feel free to jump in wherever feels right to you at this time, and follow up with us if needed!
