Becoming Anchored S6E11: The Scale Does Not Define Your Worth


Listen Later

Host and licensed therapist Laura Deneen is joined by fellow host and licensed therapist Lauren Jackson.

Together we begin exploring finding value outside of what the scale says and exploring our beliefs attached to weight.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Exploring Beliefs Around The Scale: Together we discuss your relationship with weight and the scale and where you may have learned these beliefs. We also encourage you to explore how the scale serves you or keeps you disconnected from your body.
  2. Why Does The Scale Tell You Your Worth?: Lauren discusses the worth you attach to the scale may come from societal narratives that being at a certain weight and losing weight is ideal. She explores the deeper need here is to be accepted and loved by others. Together we encourage you to explore what the number on the scale means to you.
  3. Finding Worth: Together we invite you to begin exploring how to separate your self-worth from the number on the scale. We validate and normalize that our worth can easily be tied to external things (ie: money, career, etc.). We also see you if you have been harmed by a professional or loved one regarding weight, and we believe in your ability to heal from body image distress.
  4. This episode provides insight into where we learned our beliefs about the scale and provides hope to separate your worth from how much you weigh.

    Homework: Explore your relationship with the scale. How is it bringing value to your life or taking away value to your life?

    Affirmation: “The number on the scale does not have to give you any worth.
