The Therapeutic Approach
Our weight, weight loss, weight gain and body are the result of the way we behave, our habits. Change the behavior and the body will change. But behavioral change is not a simple or easy thing. Tough habits and addictions can have a life of their own. They can control you, rather than you controlling them. They can take over and ruin everything, even if your life’s at stake, even when you want to change more than anything else in the world. “Will power” and “just making up your mind” or “wanting it badly enough” are not the answer, no matter what you have been told. Behavioral Medicine and Behavioral Therapy have the answer.
With The Anderson Method, there are no diets or diet foods. You don’t have to exercise. Instead of “going on a diet”, the emphasis is on learning to eat what you like in new ways, creating new habits you can live with that do not make you overweight. The Anderson Method is a training program, counseling in an eclectic mix of behavioral therapies I call Therapeutic Psychogenics, along with an education in the psychology of eating and weight loss and nutrition. Doctors accept it as state-of-the-art in obesity counseling. It combines Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Behavior Therapy, psychodynamic counseling, cybernetic self-management or reprogramming technique, psychoeducation and nutrition education. But you needn’t understand all those clinical terms. You only need to listen and follow. You’ll develop an understanding of yourself and the problem that you’ve never had before, strengths and abilities you never knew you were capable of. The purpose is to create a permanent change in our automatic habitual ways of acting and thinking, so that permanent weight loss becomes our new habitual way of being. And it works like a charm.
You’ll work with an expertly trained therapist or counselor in a structured method scientifically proved to provide satisfying results. The counselor compassionately teaches and leads you, and you’ll follow them through a time tested program in weekly sessions for between two to three months. You’ll be losing weight at a rate geared for maximum satisfaction and good health while you learn how to keep it off. After that, for the most easily assured long term success, we like to see clients every three months, like check-ups with your doctor.
My book describes the program in detail, but to make it easier and more certain, you should work with a counselor/therapist. Click on the button above labeled “Find a therapist,” and if there is one near you, you can call today and be on your way.
Almost everyone knows that diets don’t work. And some people can’t really exercise because of physical limitations. That won’t prevent from succeeding at weight loss. I failed at diets and exercise schemes for 25 years until I discovered this unique formula of methods I call Therapeutic Psychogenics. I tried and failed as you probably have for years until, as a behavior therapist and addictions counselor, I discovered this formula of therapy, lost 140 pounds, and started helping others solve their weight problem, too. I’ve maintained this success for more than 25 years and I hope to give it to you.

“Head and shoulders above any other systematic approach.”
Ronald Sorenson, MD
“I wanted to wait until I’d reached my goal weight to post a review, but I can’t wait any longer. This man deserves ultimate kudos for laying it out in terms that all of us who have battled the bulge can relate. I am only 8 pounds away from my goal, a weight I haven’t seen in 16 years. I won’t go into a lot of details, other than to say I have battled yo-yo dieting for 25 years. I have never been thin. I am so excited to finally get there, at the age of 44!”
