Body Checking: Why It Happens & How To Stop


Listen Later

In this episode, we're exploring body checking: what it is, why it happens, and how to actually break free from the cycle with some practical (and slightly unconventional!) strategies. Whether you're mirror checking, analysing pictures, lifting up your shirt, touching your stomach or comparing your body to others, this episode is for you.


We’ll explore:

- The psychology behind body checking

- Conscious versus automated (habitual) body checking

- Why letting go feel can feel so hard and scary

- The subtle and not-so-subtle ways it shows up

- Body comparison

  • - My top practical strategies to reduce body checking ("delay, replace, complicate, interrupt")
