25. What to do when your client says "I know what to do, I'm just not going it"
About this episode
Stephanie discusses the challenges dietitians face when clients know what to do but struggle to act on it, exploring behavior change and counseling techniques.
Have you ever had a client tell you "I know what to do, I'm just not doing it" ? For many dietitians, this is one of the most frustrating moments in a follow-up session. In this episode, Stephanie explores why clients often struggle to act on information they already know, what may really be getting in their way, and how understanding behaviour change can transform the way you approach these conversations. If you've ever felt stuck, unsure what to say next, or wondered why your clients aren't following through, this episode is for you.
