Brunhilde (Bruni) Brewin replied to Dave Berman's discussion How many sessions for weight management?"Hi,
Give a person an expectancy and they just might achieve it, based on what you you both focus on. I love the analogy given by Viktor Frankl who learnt how to fly airplanes later in life. His instructor told him that if you fly from…"
Dave Berman replied to Dave Berman's discussion How many sessions for weight management?"Thanks Kevin, I have accounted for these suggestions in a written agreement signed before our first session.

Dave Berman replied to Dave Berman's discussion How many sessions for weight management?"Thanks Kevin.
