	176. Why We Get Stuck When Working With Food Issues	30 Apr 2026	00:08:24
Working with food is rarely just about food. As a practitioner you often encounter: Resistance and ambivalence Confusion and conflicting messages Emotional eating and avoidance Shame, control, and identity issues Clients who 'know what to do' but can’t do it Your own biases and assumptions And over time, this work can feel: Slow Uncertain Emotionally demanding Most practitioners are trained in what to recommend but far fewer are supported in how to work when things don’t go to plan. The Practice Lab is twice-monthly a psychologist-led reflective practice group designed to support allied health professionals such as dietitians, PTs, nutritionists, nutritional therapists, and early career pracitioner psychologists and counsellors, developed to help you navigate complexity with more clarity, confidence, and clinical skill.

	142. Black Sheep - The Identified Patient	07 Jul 2025	00:17:16
Have you ever felt like you were the problem in your family? Like no matter how hard you tried, no matter how consistently you showed up with your best effort, you were always the one in crisis? The one who “acted out”? The one who got blamed for why things were falling apart? If that resonates with you, if that sounds familiar in your bones, the first thing I want to say is: I am so sorry. It’s such as a confusing, painful and often lonely place to be. And you’re not alone. But, more importantly, what if I told you… it might not be true? That story you’ve been told, or maybe the one you’ve carried quietly for years; the idea that you were the difficult one, the broken one, the one who couldn’t get it right - what if that story isn’t actually yours? And it never was?
