Description
First, BEFORE the blasphemy ensues -- I want to be clear that I am not "anti-positive body image" - if that has been helpful for you, that's a wonderful thing....
show moreI've found through the experiences of my clients (bc admittedly many of my clients are attractive individuals) that even when they focus on how "attractive or hot they are" or how they love their body parts whether they are attractive to our current culture or not, they STILL miss the big picture and organize their lives around "looking hot" or feeling good about how they look on the outside and lose out on putting their energy into all the other things they are passionate about and their gifts to this world (and overly attach their feelings of self-worth to what they look like).
Ultimately, I hope your takeaway from this video (whether you have positive body image or not) is that you are SO MUCH MORE than what you look like (despite what our current culture/social media may emphasize).
Join me LIVE on coffee with a therapist on Facebook live Mon-Fri at 9:15 am CT or listen to it via the "Yellow Brick Therapy Podcast" (available on most podcasting platforms).
