Customer Reviews
Accessible and informative
I’ve very much enjoyed this whole series. The presenters did an excellent job of integrating clinical information and lived experience. As a psychologist I feel better prepared to include questions around eating/ body image in my approach and where to go for further training.
An excellent series!
Episode 3 gave me goosebumps!
