Picture this:

You're trucking along your day – everything's going pretty well, when BOOM:

You see a picture of yourself, and you're instantly triggered.

"Is that really what I look like?" you ask yourself.

You can't believe your appearance. Maybe it's extra weight, or the shape of your hips or stomach.

But whatever it is – you feel your heart start to sink, and a crushing sadness races in.

Before you know it, you're spiraling into that incorporeal place made famous on Netflix's acclaimed series.

(And let's just say, it's not "The Good Place.")

Sound familiar?

Most of us have had the disconcerting experience of getting triggered around our weight or appearance. So in this episode, we take a special look at body image triggers, where they come from, and how to begin healing them.

You'll hear Marc David work with 41-year old Jen on her triggers with weight and body image.

While Jen is hungering for weight loss – she'd love to lose around 40 pounds – she comes to realize in working with Marc that there's something she'd like even more:

Being able to love and stand by herself, even if she's not yet at her goal weight.

Because Jen's body image triggers have been preventing her from so many things, such as:

• Taking photos of herself with loved ones.

• Role modeling a healthy body image to her daughters.

• Feeling confident in her own skin.

• Living in a state of freedom and joy.

Tired of feeling sad, afraid, and anxious about her weight, Jen is ready for a big shift … even if she's confused about how to get there.

While her wisdom, self-kindness, and high values have served her well so far, her body image triggers are clearly still blocking the way.

But one thing she's clear about? It's time to break the door down.

Nothing is going to stop Jen from doing the inner work she needs to do, so she can finally embrace herself – and the life she so deserves.

Listen in as Marc shares:

• How to understand the root causes behind your weight and body image triggers.

• Reframing the core negative beliefs and old traumas that are often at the root of body image challenges.

• How to recognize and shift how you speak to yourself about your body.

• A powerful exercise for learning to embrace your appearance.

• And much more…

Don't miss this remarkable eating psychology coaching session, where Marc lays out the path for all of us who are ready to release our body image triggers, and discover just how good life can be on the other side.
