EMDR and Trauma Therapy Centre
Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
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.

Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, RCT, RCC, CCC, ATR-P
At Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy, we provide specialized care for individuals navigating body image challenges, particularly in the context of gender dysphoria and the struggle for alignment between one’s internal identity and external appearance. Our therapeutic focus centers on somatic and relational approaches, tailored to address the complexities of body congruency and self-acceptance in the face of gender identity struggles.
Through somatic therapy techniques, we guide clients in exploring the ways in which their body-related distress manifests physically and emotionally. By fostering a deep connection between mind and body, our therapists help individuals process and integrate their experiences, promoting a sense of unity and empowerment within themselves.
Our relational approach emphasizes building a secure and empathetic therapeutic relationship that supports individuals through their journey of self-discovery and body acceptance. We create a safe space for clients to explore their feelings, thoughts, and experiences related to body image, gender identity, and self-expression without fear of judgment.
By integrating somatic and relational modalities, we aim to assist clients in cultivating a more harmonious relationship with their bodies and gender identity. Through this holistic and affirming approach, individuals can work towards embracing their authentic selves, fostering self-compassion, and nurturing a positive body image that aligns with their true identity. Our goal is to provide a supportive environment where clients can embark on a transformative journey towards self-acceptance, authenticity, and inner peace.
