This was a surprising course. I learned so much more than just overeating. This course also covered topics about anxiety, needs for comfort, insecurity and numerous suggestions for managing each one. This was a great course!

Consider recommendation to see a nutritionist to evaluate things such as, addictive foods in ones diet, the problems of some foods which increase cravings, identifying problems with gluten, dairy, peanuts, sweeteners, salt, etc. which create dietary problems but not overt symptoms.

This course will be very useful to me in working with clients.  Love the variety of exercises.  Very practical!

This course was so helpful and useful.  I will save this material and review it often.  Will share it with others.

This was an excellent course with very practical ideas and practices that can be used by clients.

I will use this information every day.

Well written, well organized information. Appreciate so many tools/options to help people in a variety of situations.

Excellent presentation from someone that has been there. Excellent strategies. I enjoyed the course immensely and will try to put some of these techniques into practice and will share them with others that struggle with Binge Eating as well. Thank you for your timely topic when most of Americans struggle with Obesity.

I really liked this course.  I found it helpful for clients struggling with weight issues, and even though, I don't struggle with weight issues, I could identify with elements of it in my own life.  Very practical and insightful.

I am currently working in a Functional Restoration Program and Nutrition is part of our curriculum. This course will be very helpful in my practice. Thank you.

Very organized, succinct and easy to understand. Has techniques I can start using with clients right away.

A well designed course, great information.

I'm looking forward to using these lessons with my food addiction patients.

The material was beautifully organized.

Better understanding of emotional eating.

This course helped a great deal in explaining emotional overeating and treatment techniques. There was a great deal that I did not understand, and I am grateful for this course.

The self awareness exercises were very helpful.

Great course! As an eating disorder professional I found this course to confirm what I know and add interesting exercises to use with patients...

Loved the specific directions for the exercises.

Great information on how to improve not overeating.

I appreciated the different ideas of how to handle different eating issues.

Well written and concise.

One of the best PDR courses I have taken. I would highly recommend it to counselors who want a practical set of exercises to use with clients.

Good information presented in an easy to understand format.

This was BRILLIANT!  There are so many strategies to use.  I really loved this online course!

Thank you, I am looking forward to utilizing these ideas with my clients.

Very useful information about how emotions and mental health play a role in our choosing to engage in negative behaviors such as overeating.

Great course, provides plenty of tools for resources plus counseling techniques.

Most timely and beneficial as I meet women who struggle with this issue every week and the cognitive behavioral interventions are perfectly designed to meet the needs of a variety of people. I shared this information with a physician who runs a weight loss group and she is also using it! 

Thanks for all the exercises ? very useful tool.

Some explanations were overly "wordy" which tended to take away from the impact of the concept.

This course includes some very good ideas for working with clients. I like the idea of focusing on discomfort, helping clients to cope with that??and to see it as opportunity. The outside my hula?hoop visual is excellent. 

This course was surprisingly complete ? with lots of ideas for working with the feelings that push compulsive eating. It gets beyond the usual suggestions and explores unconscious motivations, which I am always glad for. (I am a Jungian analyst as well as psychologist)

Good course, made me think and re?evaluate some areas.

The paragraphs were much too long. It was difficult to find the correct answers.The writing did not flow.

This course contained material which I can refer back to as needed and it made think about the topic.

This was an excellent course. Very organized, thoughtful, and comprehensive!

I appreciated the practical tools that this course provided! Thank you!

Nice course. and nice presentation.  Will use this in practice. Thanks!

Excellent course. Great use of test questions. They were clear, concise, and focused on the main issues and therefore aided learning. Thank you for this course!

Very thorough and enjoyed all of the mental health suggestions! Very applicable, thanks

Lots of very practical information and strategies to address and change patterns of emotional overeating. Very valuable!

Great deal of insight presented, very useful and practical. Thank You.

I really enjoyed this course! There was a wonderful mix of theoretical and practical concepts.  I plan to use this course as a reference for my Bariatric support group! Thank you!

Excellent class. I learned an incredible amount to use with both clients and myself.

Great course ? well organized, easy to understand concepts, great resources and so so many exercises to help understand self and practice techniques.  Well done.

This is one of the best online courses I've ever taken. The material was extremely well organized and many practical interventions were provided.

Excellent program, the best I've seen on emotional eating and it's management.  Thank you!

I have taken many courses from PDresources, but perhaps this was the most helpful. Thanks!

Not only did I improve my knowledge on the subject, but I also learned a lot about myself.

This was very helpful for my area of practice - thank you!

The content of this course should be required curriculum for all middle school or high school students.

One of the best courses I've ever taken. Lots of good information & suggestions. Well written.

This course was relevant on many levels, personal and professional.  I enjoyed, also, how well it was written.  Nice job!

This was great - the information I gained will benefit many of my clients!

Very extensive course and should be worth more CEUs.

Thank you for providing online courses!

This is an excellent, detailed and informative course!  Thank you.

A few text questions were too focused on minutia and difficult to answer even though I feel I have a more than adequate understanding of the material.  Other than that, this was a very interesting and informative course!

Once again, I can incorporate a lot of what I learned with my clients, as well as with family members and myself.

Well written and very thorough. While I found all of the suggestions helpful and detailed, unfortunately, by the end of the entire course, I was mentally exhausted and on overload with suggestions.

The course was well written and informative.  I especially liked all of the suggestions on how to deal with each food struggle described.

I consider myself a strong, self-aware, and insightful clinician.  This course was humbling in the sense that it was a reminder as to how much learning there is remaining about myself.  I can't believe how good this course was.  Most courses only offer the "what"and "why". Few seem to include the "how", which this course provides.  It provides practical solutions in "how" to approach or 'fix' these issues once they are identified.  Well done and thank you.

This is an exceptionally well-written and interesting course. It is organized for easy understanding. Examples and specific strategies are presented in easy-to-follow segments. Well done!

 Really hit home!  I am saving the printed material and will continue to reference.Thank you for a very enlightening class!

Very informative and eye-opening.

I work in a substance abuse treatment agency.  Many of the exercises given will be helpful for my clients.

Very interesting and comprehensive analysis of emotional overeating and tips for management of this problem. Enjoyed the course.

One of my favorite courses from you; increased my awareness!

Loved all the different coping strategies and examples in this course!

I really enjoyed all the suggested exercises. I'm sure I will incorporate those into my work in the future.

 A great course filled with lots of tools, techniques, interventions and insights.

This module was VERY well written and covered what I think are the most relevant points in understanding someone who struggles with emotional eating. Please let the author know that her work was very well received.

Very clear writing and practical suggestions. I do use many of the suggestions in my work with myself & my clients. Thank you.

Excellent course, with much to consider beyond the usual explanations of emotional overeating. The course material provided many exercises and therapeutic activities, too.

This was one of the better courses I have taken. Very informative and applicable with the patient population I work with.

Brilliant penetrating insights -- Outstanding!

Took this course more for my own knowledge base. LOVED it and learned a lot.

Very well written and I learned a great deal. Fantastic course!

This was so interesting and helpful. I learned so much -  even about myself!

Love this course! The author obviously has a depth of experience, compassion and knowledge re: working with emotional eating clients. I'm even going to take my own notes on it. More from this author, please!

I could have used a bit more information on the brain chemistry. At the same time, I REALLY liked this course and will incorporate ideas from it into workshops on other topics.  Appendix 2 of emotions is a great tool. Thanks.

I loved all the ideas for interventions!

This was so interesting and helpful. I learned so much - even about myself!

I really learned a lot from this course. The author was clear and gave relatable real life examples. Also the Activities and Awareness sections were packed with practical suggestions that one could choose from. Overall, I'd very much recommend this course!

I now understand better why there are so many people in our nation that are overweight or obese, and how our culture contributes to emotional eating patterns which start in childhood.

This course content is excellent. The printed material is like a therapist manual with the interventions spelled out. Worth so much more than the dollar amount paid to take the course. PDR is my favorite continuing education source. Please add new topics to the online courses you offer for clinical psychologists.

Very in-depth discussion about emotional Overeating. Good techniques acquired to deal with the matter/ situation.
