What most people probably mean by an eating psychology coach or for people that think
maybe I need an eating psychology coach, people are probably looking for someone that can
help them understand or think about the psychology that leads them to making certain choices
about their eating, or when in instances where eating feels out of control that can help
them get their eating back on track. So an eating psychology coach can be many different
things, and if you're looking to discuss psychological factors around your eating, or an eating problem
with someone, what I would recommend is look further than just the term 'eating psychology
coach.' You want to find someone that has extensively studied in this area, somebody
with a psychology background or a medical background, so a psychologist or a psychiatrist,
possibly a social worker or other type of mental health professional that has extensive
training in psychology and psychological aspects around these eating problems as well as is
familiar with the most evidence based treatments. There a lot of people out there that call
themselves, you know, coaches for things, life coaches, and many of these people may
be able to be extremely helpful, and yet there are also people out there that call themselves
coaches and call themselves professional that don't really have the training that might
be important in directing patients to the most evidence based treatment. So do your
homework, check a person's background, check how they've been trained, and make an informed
decision about who you seek out for treatment.
