Lynn Answers the Most Common Questions About our First Step Course
1. Why did you create the First Step Course?
After 11 years of working with clients on emotional eating, I noticed that there are common patterns and strategies that all clients can benefit from. So, I set out to package these great pieces of information into a course that could be accessible to more people—and it became the First Step Course!
Also, my client roster is currently full, but I wanted to make sure I could still help people who struggle with emotional eating. It is much more common than our shame would have us believe.
2. Who is the course for?
This course is for anyone who feels they need support with emotional eating. There is a focus on what is emotional eating and why we do it (and how we get stuck in the cycle).
The great thing about this course is that while there are common triggers for emotional eating, this course will not only help you identify them, it will also help you build strategies to support your own needs. That way you are better prepared when faced with an emotion you don’t want to feel.
3. Why should I do an online course instead of one-on-one therapy sessions?
There are a few benefits to signing up for the First Step Course: you can go at your own pace and work from wherever you want. You don’t have to wait for an appointment, simply log on when you have time (and mental space) to work through the 13 lessons—that may sound like a lot, but it’s about three and half hours in total.
Plus: you have lifetime access! So, if a lesson feels overwhelming or life gets busy, you can come back to the course any time you need it.
It is also cheaper than two individual therapy sessions.
4. So, how much does it cost?
The price actually just dropped! The whole course is $247, including tax.
5. Is this online course covered by my insurance the way a therapy session would be?
This is a great question! It is best to check with your own insurance company. When you contact them, you can ask these two key questions:
- Am I covered for services rendered by a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario?
- Am I covered for services rendered by a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario under the supervision of a Registered Psychologist in Ontario?
6. What do I do after I complete the First Step Course? I can’t give too much away yet, but I have been working on something new and exciting that I am hoping to launch early next year! It will be another online option to further support people on their emotional eating journey. If you follow the Centre’s Facebook or Instagram, you’ll be the first to know when it launches.
I hope to ‘see’ you online!
💛 Your peace awaits.
