Often on the bariatric journey people seek answers that are outside themselves or seek cookie cutter information that may not apply to absolutely everyone. This is why a foundational principle of living the bariatric life is "know thyself". One's relationship with self includes understanding motivation, desires, and personal or professional fulfillment, building self-trust, and cultivating encouraging self-talk and self-belief so that each individual is partnering with themselves and their goals rather than fighting and sabotaging their desires.  Bio: Dr. Kristin Lloyd, PhD has been creating outstanding results for individuals, couples, and organizations for over 18 years as a highly accomplished psychotherapist, transformational mindset coach, college educator, and consultant. Through her invigorating and transformative facilitation skills, Kristin has been guiding individuals, couples, and executives to achieve dramatic breakthroughs in mindset and motivation, self-confidence, productivity, commitment, interpersonal communication, conflict resolution, stress reduction, and aligning with their soul's purpose as well as reinventing one's future for success. She is now leading bariatric patients and bariatric candidates through massive mindset shifts and embodiment practices to help them create lasting behavioral habit changes, emotional adjustments to lead happy and healthy lives through weight management/weight maintenance protocols as they adapt to the multitude of lifestyle changes that occur following bariatric surgery. Introduction: 10 minutes Brenda / Kristin introductions  Content/ Interview: 40 minutes Kristin talks about Relationship with Self What is Relationship with Self? What does it mean?   Why is it important?  Answers outside self vs. inside self  The potential issues if/when someone ignores their relationship with self - and how it impacts the bariatric journey Steps in cultivating relationship with self and what that looks like - (1) building relationship with self  (2) repairing relationship with self (3) building self-trust (4) rebuilding one's relationship with food through relationship with self Closing comments  Q&A Closing: 10 minutes Dr Kristin Lloyd, PhD promos ProCare: Product share ---------------------------------------------------- Visit us online: https://procarenow.com/ Check out our Event Hub for listings of Bari Connected LIVE Events and Support Groups!
