Treating body image concerns often involves a multifaceted approach. Therapy might begin with CBT to help individuals identify and challenge negative thoughts and beliefs about their bodies. It is crucial to build self compassion, encourage a focus on the bodies functionality and health versus appearance and society's values on thinness. The goal is to foster a healthier, more accepting view of one's body and to be in a more neutral then anything else.
