“This training has made me rethink my whole approach to working with people suffering from eating disorders. But also anyone with a disordered or emotional relationship with food. I learned so much. There is a lot to take in and consider. I did not have this amount of knowledge when I trained as a dietician. I think it is so important for all dieticians to do this training.”
