Ep. 119: Recognizing and Navigating Body Dysmorphia


Listen Later

Welcome back to another episode of the Body Acceptance Podcast! Let's talk body dysmorphia. In this episode I cover how it shows up, why it’s important to notice the ways, and how you can use the information to navigate negative body image moments 

 

Here's a little teaser of some of the ways it shows up that I mention in the episode:

  • Body comparison 
  • Avoiding mirrors 
  • Not believing compliments
  • And more!
  •  

    Before you listen, I just wanna put out a disclaimer that I am not an expert of body dysmorphia, and I’m only speaking through the lens of my own personal experience. It’s much more complex than I can even cover in one episode, and I highly encourage you to seek professional help if you feel like it’s something you’re struggling to navigate on your own. 

     

    Here are my intentions for this episode: 

    • To help you feel less alone & normalize the struggles that many of us have around body image, but not everyone talks about
  • I want you to understand that body image struggles are normal for everyone, especially in our appearance-obsessed culture. But you don’t have to let it hold you back. 
  •  

    This episode was inspired by a post I came across from @bodyimagepositive. Follow them on Instagram for more body image quotes and support.

    Finally, if you enjoyed the show, I would so appreciate it if you’d leave me a 5 star review on Itunes or share it with a friend. I don’t make money through doing this podcast, so the best way you can give back is by doing those things!
