Body image Shame
It is deeply painful to feel that your body is wrong. Body image shame is suffocating and can take over your life.
If you have ever experienced
Body checking
Grabbing or squeezing parts of your body
Routinely looking at a certain body part, or a certain angle of your body in the mirror
Using measurements to check your body
Body image distress or spiraling
Avoiding the color or style of clothes you really want to wear because of negative body image
Negative or harsh body self-talk
Not wanting to be perceived
Avoiding going out of the house because of how you feel about your body
Avoiding socializing because of how you feel about your body
Judging other people’s bodies
Feeling that you would be happier if your body was different
Using disordered eating or exercise to cope with my body image distress
I want you to know that healing is possible. Together we can use gentle curiosity to get to the root of your body shame and identify your true body values.
