Session 8: Forming Good Habits and Flexibility

This chapter presents Session 8, which focuses on gaining values clarity by exploring clients’ values in greater depth and identifying ways that values connect to eating, physical activity, and health. Strategies for forming good habits are presented, such as performing a behavior immediately after a specific cue (e.g., walking immediately after eating dinner). Strategies for breaking bad habits are also discussed in the context of the psychological skill of “flexibility.”
