In this 60 minute group medical visit, our obesity medicine assistant and internal medicine specialist, Dr. Fraser will discuss how to cultivate a more supportive inner dialogue and will answer participant questions regarding this topic. Participants will be prompted to fill out a form during registration so they can submit questions and desired discussion points for the physician in advance. 

*Please note that these are smaller group medical visits and there are a limited number of spots. To keep things fair for other participants, please register only if you can commit to attending. If you register but neglect to show up, the $40 cancellation fee for a missed appointment will apply. 

Embracing The Coach Not The Critic: A Constructive  And  Solution-Oriented Approach To Pursuing Our Goals

How does our attitude towards ourselves and our performance impact our ability to achieve our goals? In this session, we will explore common thinking traps that contribute to an "all or nothing" mindset, along with strategies to help avoid falling into fruitless rumination cycles. Balanced approaches for setting goals, giving yourself feedback, and practicing self-compassion will be discussed. Participants will also have the opportunity to apply strategies from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to challenge perfectionistic thinking patterns.
