There are many factors that affect body image, such as gender norms, social media, cultural background, self-esteem, age, and so on. Together, we will work on building a new, healthy relationship and connection with your body.
Body image concerns can have a significant impact on someone’s wellbeing. Addressing body image in therapy will allow you to explore the origins of these concerns, the narratives that uphold these concerns and how these concerns impact you, and how you want to feel about your body moving forward. Therapy, with me, will be a safe space where you can explore the different emotions associated with these concerns and find ways to develop self-compassion and an alternate story that allows you to have the relationship you want with your body. Schedule a free consultation with me to see if we are a good fit.
Body image runs wild through our society. It has no malice or bias, it clings to a variety of us in each our own experiences. So what is it? How to overcome it? Is it about overcoming it? What is it trying to tell us?
I have run many workshops in this area as well as studied extensively with clients as to what is underneath it all for them. I'm also a fellow body image impacted person. I'm here, I'm with you, I see the path and light. Let's find yours.
Therapy for body image is focused on reframing negative thinking patterns and targeting negative schemas to improve self-esteem, self-worth, and self-efficacy.
