Body image unveils a deeply personal narrative woven with threads of self-perception and past experiences. From the earliest moments of attachment, our sense of worth becomes entwined with the reflections we see in the eyes of caregivers. Trauma, whether subtle or profound, can warp this mirror, distorting our perception and fuelling a cycle of self-doubt and dissatisfaction. Through the lens of attachment theory, body image emerges as a reflection not only of physical appearance but also of our innermost emotions and relational dynamics. Healing begins with recognizing the wounds of the past and nurturing a compassionate connection with oneself. With therapy and supportive relationships, individuals can rewrite the narrative, fostering a sense of acceptance and self-love that transcends the surface, embracing the beauty found within the depths of the soul.

Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, Registered Psychotherapist
I believe the path to healing body image issues involves understanding the root of how our current relationship with our bodies developed, as well as setting a new foundation based in a new narrative about our bodies that is firmly planted in acceptance and values-based self-knowledge, self-care, enhanced self-esteem, and loving kindness.
