Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Poor self esteem and body image are often paired with self worth. Bodies can go through changes throughout our lifetime, learning to accept ourselves as we are, knowing that things do change.

Victoria Lorient-Faibish
Registered Psychotherapist, MEd, RP, CCC, RPE
Having a good relationship with your body is such a challenge for so many. I know the journey well.
I work with many tools to facilitate a transformation the way a person perceives themselves.
Developing a friendly relationship with your body takes work especially if the messaging in childhood was not healthy.
We dig into the family-culture to fully unpack and understand it. We look at the self doubt, the inner self talk and the habits of self shame. I often will have clients do home exercises in between therapy sessions.
Here is an example... I have found this exercise game changing for me and for many of my clients.
Try an experiment of no longer looking in the mirror at parts of your body that lead you to deeply criticize yourself which then impacts your self esteem in negative ways. Even if you're the most amazing human being in the world, if you engage in a lot of mirror time that's all about self criticism your self-value will no longer be based on your inner value, it'll be all based on that body part that you loathe. Change your mirror time! Do it for a couple months and see how your self esteem changes. This is an experiment that I did that was highly successful and I share this with clients and they have found it very successful in terms of how they now feel about themselves and their self value.. Change your relationship to how you look at yourself in the mirror now!

Adrienne Sharma-Richardson PhD MEd RP OCT
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Gestalt Psychotherapist Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Gottman Trained Couples Therapist
I have borrowed Andrew Seuber's approach to working with a negative body image, that is from the inside out.
He suggests that "The negative image is understood as a dissociated and shame-based “part” of the personality in need of understanding and compassion, achieved via mindful awareness, “parts” dialogue and trauma processing.
The first step is to create healthy separation between the "observing" or aware Self and the part(s) absorbed in the eating disorder via mindful awareness.
Once this separation between the "whole" self and part of self is established, the Gestalt polarity tradition (empty chairs) is utilized to develop understanding of the shame-based part.
Understanding leads to compassion for the eating disordered part from a non-enmeshed state of consciousness, aka the aware self, the experiencing self, the observing self.
Healing of the eating disordered part occurs when that part no longer feels exiled as a "not-I" and is assisted in processing the traumatic roots of the disorder."

Bridges Clinical Hypnotherapy Services
Hypnotherapist
Poor body image or "Body dysmorphic disorder" is a mental health disorder that can cause you to unduly focus on perceived defects or flaws in your appearance. This may be something easily overlooked by others but can trigger such negative feelings inside of you that it can present as social anxiety, embarrassment or shame. Hypnosis can help you overcome these feelings and reach a point of self-acceptance that will allow you to move on with living your life unhindered.
