Discover Your 'Blind Spots'
We all have our blind spots – it’s hard to see choices and possible solutions by ourselves. A psychologist can help find new ways to view problems and generate alternatives that work for you.
Learn New Strategies to Increase Well-being
A good friend can listen, but a psychologist can help you learn new skills to help yourself when you are feeling overwhelmed or are unsure how to make changes or move forward.
Manage Stress and Relationships
Learn new ways to navigate difficulties and find strategies to join against a problem or join with your partner against problems that arise in your relationship. For more research-based relationship tools, explore The Gottman Institute Blog.
Improve Your Relationship with Food
Have you ever found yourself having a “snaccident?” Eating more than you anticipated, often mindlessly? You’re not alone! Everyone eats for reasons other than hunger – we often soothe with food or eat when stressed. Learn more here.
Coming Soon: Stress Eating Workshop
Don’t let stress dictate your relationship with food. Do you find that in times of stress or difficult emotions you turn to food as a comfort or escape? Do you want to break the cycle and learn how to develop a better relationship with stress as well as with food? In this research-based, interactive virtual workshop facilitated by Dr. Elizabeth Chamberlain, licensed psychologist at the CU Medicine Weight Management and Wellness Clinic and faculty wellness officer with the CU Department of Psychiatry, participants will learn:
- How stress eating starts
- Ways to identify triggers
- Strategies to help manage the stress eating cycle
Upcoming Workshop: Coming Soon
Cost: $149
The Stress Eating Workshop includes four weekly sessions.
