Becoming Anchored S6E5: Finding Hope In Body Image Hopelessness
In this episode of Becoming Anchored, co-host and licensed therapist Laura Deneen is joined by co-host and licensed therapist Lauren Jackson.
Together they share about interventions and questions to help cultivate hope when you feel overwhelmed or hopeless about body image.
Key Takeaways:
Exploring Body Image: It is important to give people space to share about their body image experiences and story. Laura and Lauren discuss peeling back the layers of your body image story and being curious about where you learned messages about their body whether from their family, culture, or socially.
Diet Culture and Body Image: Diet culture plays a big role in how many people experience their bodies. It promotes dieting or manipulating what we eat in order to influence how we look. Further, it pushes the idea that if we do not look a certain way then we are doing something wrong and it only praises an “ideal” body.
Having a Peaceful Relationship With Your Body: Laura and Lauren discuss practicing curiosity and openness with your body if you are feeling overwhelmed with body image. Be curious about what may have contributed to how you view your body, and how you feel about your body. They encourage you to validate your experiences as it relates to your body image story.
This episode provides helpful tools to explore your body image and to promote hopefulness around being embodied.
Homework: When you notice negative body image showing up, pause and notice what thoughts and emotions may be coming up. Explore where you learned messages about your body.
Affirmation: “I am capable of holding space for curiosity.”
