Regardless of being in an inpatient or outpatient setting, you need to find a session style that feels authentic to you.
When we say "style" we mean:
- how you begin/end a session
- how you conduct a session- formal or informal or a mix?
- how you take notes (outpatient) (ex. do you use a template or free style? Do you take notes on a computer/tablet or a pad of paper?)
- your office setting/set-up (outpatient)
- It can also mean what you wear as the provider
In Part 2 of this episode, Bethany and Danielle continue discussing each of their session styles and share ways you can figure out what style works and feels authentic to you.

About the co-hosts:
Bethany Wheeler and Danielle Southern are both weight-inclusive registered dietitians in outpatient settings and each own a private nutrition therapy practice. They have known each other since 2012 when Danielle reached out to Bethany for guidance on how to become a registered dietitian herself. Since then, Bethany has mentored Danielle through her entire journey to become a dietitian. They both know and value the importance of registered dietitians having professional support and mentorship in their career and want to help make the journey for future dietitians a bit easier and more successful. Each week they will be taking on a topic that dietitians don't traditionally learn about in their university programs or internships, but is essential to a career as a dietitian. In other words, they'll be talking about all the stuff you wish you would have learned in school/internship, but didn't.
