Skill area: Community Nutrition, Medical Nutrition Therapy
Assignment Title: Behavior Change Paper
What I learned: Through this assignment, I learned the difficulties of having to change a behavior. So many things just occur naturally in my life, so having to change a behavior was difficult. I learned how clients must feel when they are asked to make changes to their lives.
Reflection to this assignment: This assignment helped me realize the difficulties associated with making a big change in my life. It is easy for me as a dietitian to suggest making changes, but this assignment really allowed me to see it from the client’s perspective. What I learn and what I will tell client’s is different than me actually being in their position. It is important for me to be able to understand where they are coming from.
Relevance to the profession: While working as a dietitian, I will encounter many clients that may need to make changes in their life. This assignment made me realize the difficulties that come with making a change and has helped me develop compassion and understanding towards the clients that I will be meeting with.
