Trigger warning. The issues we are discussing today regarding body image can evoke strong emotional and psychological responses. They land differently with each individual, and it is always important that we check in with ourselves before we receive information as to whether we are mentally in a place to manage the processing of that information. It is an act of self-compassion to know when not to listen to something. Please take a moment to do this. Check-in now to decide what is right for you and if listening to the show today brings up any issues for you, help is always available at Lifeline on 13 11 14, or through the Butterfly Foundation, who specialize in support for eating disorders and body image issues on 1800 33 4673.

Body Image in Relationships Part 2

On todays episode we're digging into the hard stuff, body image. It affects a lot of us. In fact, one in two Aussies, rarely or never speak positively about their bodies. And it affects us in more ways than you might realise. It can especially affect our relationships, the way we feel about ourselves, the way we feel about our partners, the way we connect with our partners, and the way we are intimate together. Our Australian of the Year for 2023, Taryn Brumfitt was chosen as a leader in the body image movement. The time has clearly come culturally for us to open up and discuss the real impact of negative body image and how we can find a more positive path forward.
