Published: Feb. 9, 2016, 6 p.m.

b'An enlightening, often overlooked topic. This tough love conversation about enabling ,\\xa0(a term more often used in addictions and\\xa0substance abuse counseling) \\xa0and how the term applies to the relationship between a participant and their weight loss program. \\xa0In essence, the \\xa0weight loss program becomes the\\xa0 enabler; as long as it is \\xa0there AND it WORKS, I can eat what I want and just start again!. The game is this: The clinician thinks the person is motivated to release weight; the disconnect in communication is that the client is really just testing their safety net, before \\xa0returning \\xa0to their old habits. This cycle needs to stop and \\xa0is physically dangerous, hence the reason for this broadcast

The program director and author of the program is Michelle Edmonds, M.A., M.Ed.\\xa0Ms. Edmonds is affectionately\\xa0 known as "The Godmother" of Wellness, \\xa0A/K/A \\xa0the "drill sergeant".A trained counseling psychologist, she is a dynamic \\xa0speaker in the area of \\xa0wellness and personal development.
