- Understand clients and their challenges, which will lead to more effective, productive coaching relationships + more personalized nutritional suggestions.
- Understand why some clients behave “irrationally” or struggle with their eating and exercise habits.
- Identify strategies that can help clients get unstuck.
- Avoid unintentionally re-traumatizing clients
- Recognize when a client needs additional support—such as a referral to a registered therapist—to work through trauma
