All-or-Nothing Thinking: How To Keep It From Derailing Your Efforts
Most people engage in all-or-nothing thinking (also known as black-and-white thinking) in one way or another. With weight loss and lifestyle change, it can take many forms: either following your plan perfectly or thinking you’re a “failure,” thinking of foods as either “good” or “bad,” feeling you’re either a “good” or a “bad” person depending on what you eat, among many others. This type of thinking can be counterproductive as well as demoralizing. Join clinical psychologist Rachel Burnett, PhD to learn some ideas for healthier approaches.
Fee: You do not need to be a patient of the clinic to participate. Free for active Comprehensive Program patients; $35 per session for all others. Prepayment package discounts available.
