"I have enjoyed each and every one of the Teleconferences so much that I am now trying to schedule patients around them. I feel that the TCME is extremely valuable and am planning to join as a member this week." -Danielle Paciera, LDN, RD, Tulane UniversityFrom tele-conference participant (The call) "it was great! I appreciated how you modeled these skills for us as you facilitated the group! I also loved hearing the experiences of others and learning about different resources. " Cathy C "The entire concept of 'curiosity' was new to me with respect to nutrition counseling. It seemed like a very unlikely word to include. I came to understand, however, how it can increase our awareness of our/client's behaviors when taking a more curious stance (I wonder how much food It will take to fill me up/satisfy me?) rather than a more judgmental, negative stance such as "I'm not supposed to eat more than this for lunch, but I seem extra hungry today!".
