Has anyone ever given you unsolicited criticism about your body?

In this episode, I address the comment of one of my Twitch chatters, whose girlfriend shamed him for growing his leg muscles “too big” (um…that doesn’t exist). This was a great start to a discussion on body shaming and dealing with people when they give unsolicited feedback about your body. My strategy for dealing with anyone who criticizes your body is to challenge them with questions like “what makes you think that’s an appropriate thing to say?”

I also highlight the importance of setting boundaries and not allowing others to dictate how your body should look. Value yourself and work on healing unhealthy beliefs about yourself.

Trigger warning: This episode contains a discussion on the impact of unresolved trauma and relationship abuse on self-worth.
