151. Body Image is the Last to Go
Episode 151
Tuesday, 19 November, 2024
Body image is one of the most overused but essential topics in mental health. So why does poor body image seem to be the last clingy guest at the recovery party, the one who refuses to take a hint and just leave? Sure, changing your body might give you a short-term confidence boost, but once that “ideal” inevitably slips away, so does that fragile confidence. Turns out, there’s no quick fix here. Instead, there’s a long road to unpacking why we’ve all bought into the lie that self-worth and body size go hand in hand. Tweetable Quotes “I know that you might feel more confident when you shrink your body and then you feel like you have a better body image, but that confidence is very much tied to your body.” - Rachelle Heinemann "Body image is really not at all like a symptom." - Rachelle Heinemann "Who said that working on our body image is supposed to be easy?" - Rachelle Heinemann "What would people think about you if you took up more space?" - Rachelle Heinemann "If I want to feel more confident, I have to take a lot of risks with doing things that I don't want to do, whether it's interpersonally or just with tasks." - Rachelle Heinemann Resources Grab my Journal Prompts Here!
