Summary
When your client hits a wall in body image healing, it is not a sign something went wrong. It is a sign you are doing the work right. In this Coach Corner episode, I answer a question I get more than almost any other. A practitioner has done everything correctly with her client. Intuitive eating. Body image tools. Mirror work. Six weeks of solid sessions. And now she is stuck. I explain exactly what is happening and what to do next. In this episode, you will learn: Why "hitting a wall" with a client is actually a sign of progress, not failure What the Model Behind the Model is and how to use it at every layer of client stagnation The question you need to ask your client about her body that she has likely never asked herself How the Six Layers of Why tool moves clients from personal blame to systemic understanding Why this work has very little to do with food and everything to do with power, patriarchy, and social conditioning Mentioned in the show: Groundwork: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/groundwork Non-Diet Client Assessment tool: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/clientassessment Coach Corner Vault: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/coach-corner Non-Diet Coaching Certification Waitlist: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/non-diet-coaching-certification/ What To Say When Clients Want To Lose Weight Guide: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/what-to-say-when-clients-want-to-lose-weight Weight-Neutral Coaching Training: https://www.stephaniedodier.com/shop
