TY - JOUR AB - The obese subject represents a tricky patient for the nutrition professionals, often having several nutritional interventions behind him already; his feeling of self-efficacy has frequently been undermined already, not only from the several failures and weight re-gains, but also from the social stigma (not uncommon to be found in the healthcare setting, too) towards this disease: a picture difficult to manage for the nutrition professional. The Nutritional Counseling consists of a set of techniques of conducting the nutritional meeting, aimed at creating a good relational climate; it comes to help, through a non-judgemental approach: the individual is the protagonist of the therapy, which is co-constructed and tailored, on the basis of the information which the patient, who is the unique expert on his life, provides. The exploration out of curiosity, the active listening, the work on the resources, the increase of the patient’s feeling of self-efficacy, the focus on how, the motivational interviewing are just a few of the techniques which allow to create a therapeutic relationship which facilitates the fall of the patient’s resistance barriers. In this way, it is possible to move the point of view on the aspects which really hinder the goal achievement, to work on them and, consequently, to help the individual implement the resources and strategies useful for the changing process.
