Lauren and Shannon delve into the complex relationship between sexual trauma, body dysmorphia, and disordered eating habits. They have a discussion about the influence of social media and advertising on our body image perceptions, reflecting on how even childhood experiences shape self-perception... why don't I have boobs but that girl does? Shannon shares her experience of disordered eating of turning to binging as a coping mechanism post-assault. Both talk about what it can be like to feel that your body doesn't deserve to be taken care of and how to begin to work through unhealthy eating habits. Cheers!
