Summer of Change

Summer is a great time to reflect on your personal goals and explore if there are any areas of your life that could use a little freshening up or even a major change. For some, this may be committing to a consistent bedtime or eating more fruit daily. For others, it may quitting smoking or changing jobs. Parents often consider options for helping their children grow or work on new challenges over the summer months.  Whether it is a seemingly small improvement or life changing venture, there are practical strategies that can help. 


If you are looking into changing a habit or behavior or helping someone else you care about make a change, consider taking my course, Behavior Change Ahead. This is an audio course that you can access on any internet-enabled device and includes 4 hours of content packed with science-backed principles.  You will learn about the impact of behaviors in your life, choosing behaviors to change, setting achievable goals, functions of behavior, principles of reinforcement, punishment, data collection and review, observing behavior, celebrating success, and more. Behavior Change Ahead can be accessed any time you are able to listen and includes a printable workbook to help guide you through the principles and behavior change journey. If you think there is a behavior you would like to change, or if you want to learn more about the science of behavior change, this course is for you. 


It is important to note that this course is educational in nature and is not intended to treat mental health disorders or to replace treatment by a mental health professional. If you are interested in individual therapy with me, please reach out via my website or give me a call. 

 

Happy learning and changing!
