A Personality Based Eating Awareness Program: participant workbook

The Personality Based Eating Awareness Program was developed by the TRACE Dietetics team at the University of Newcastle to offer a personalised approach, based on personality traits, to support individuals in improving their symptoms of addictive eating and dietary intake. Based on scientific research, the workbook contains five modules that individuals can work through at their own pace or be complemented by face-to-face sessions with a dietitian. The modules cover practical information for understanding addictive eating behaviours and provides a range of skill-building and goal setting exercises with the aim to create eating awareness. Developed in consultation with health professionals and consumers with lived experience of addictive eating, the program will assist individuals in in creating an ‘Addictive Eating Action Plan’ and improving their relationship with food.
