“Working with the psychology of eating – meaning the heart mind and the soul of the eater – is often a subversive undertaking. We are guiding people to a place where they didn’t ask to visit, yet their heart is yearning to go there.” – Marc David & Emily Rosen, Founders of Eating Psychology Training
