Kate, a listener from our community, wrote in to share her body image struggle and get her question answered on Equipped to Recover.22222 Kate wrote: "I’m so blessed to be physically healthy, however after 20 years in recovery all I can see when I look in the mirror are my ‘enormous legs’. I know this is the shape I will always have. Will there ever be a day that I won’t focus on them? And if so, what additional method of therapy should I try if I've already addressed lessening body dysmorphia with traditional prescribed therapy. How can I own my legs and learn to love them, or just appreciate them and feel neutral about them?" In our mission to help you learn from the best, we connected with Zoë Bisbing to answer this question. She's a therapist and educator who has dedicated her career to helping individuals and families heal from eating disorders and body image issues. Zoë suggested the practice of mirror exposure therapy to help improve body image. It's a practice you can do by yourself, in your own home.  Take a listen to discover how it works, and how it can help you.
