Body image is a combination of the thoughts and feelings that you have about your body. Body image may range between positive and negative experiences, and one person may feel at different times positive or negative or a combination of both. As body image is influenced by internal (e.g. personality) and external (e.g. social environment) factors we work with the client to develop a balanced view of body image and it's impact.
Body image issues form a large part of issues faced by women and are often thrust upon us by the patriarchy through rampant sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. Kate understands the depths of these causes and helps from this deep point of understanding.
