143. Think Your Weight Is the Problem? How Body Dysmorphia Makes You Believe a Lie


Listen Later

What if the way you see your body isn’t the way it actually looks? You might think you’re seeing yourself clearly, but your brain could be distorting the image—without you even realizing it. Many women go through life assuming their reflection is an accurate representation of reality, when in fact, their body image is shaped by thoughts, emotions, and past experiences more than they know.

In today’s episode, Brittany dives into what body dysmorphia actually is, why your brain creates these distortions, and simple steps to start shifting how you see yourself. If you’ve ever felt like your body image is a moving target, this conversation will help you break free from distorted thoughts and view yourself with more clarity and kindness.

A few things you can expect to hear in this episode include…

🪞 Why your brain acts like a funhouse mirror (and how to stop believing the distortions)

🎯 The surprising difference between precision and accuracy when it comes to body image

🖍 A simple activity that will change how you see yourself (literally!)

💭 How to challenge negative body thoughts in the moment

🚫 The sneaky habit that makes body dysmorphia worse (and how to break free from it)
