Brian Baumal
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP)
Body Image issues often go hand-in-hand with eating disorders and obesity and weight issues. People can judge their body harshly or have a negative relationship with it. Body image issues are often one of the latter topics that get discussed in therapy, because they are often so personal, and in some cases they may even be unknown to the client. There are a significant number of ways to address body image issues, but one that always is effective somewhat is to say to clients "Your body doesn't have a mouth. If it did, what would it say, and how would it say it?" Putting these words to one's body is a great and refreshing start to dealing with these important issues.

Do you have a part of you that consistently checks if you're acceptable in the eyes of others? Learning what this part of you is trying to do for you can often support this part of you to ease up with it's hold on you. There is often a benefit of the IFS (internal family systems) approach for healing from the profound impact of body image and self-esteem issues.

Kaleidoscope Counselling Collective
Registered Social Worker, RSW
Often times, our sense of worth can be tied to our body image. This connection is fostered by our society, and often reinforced in the families and communities in which we grow up in. Learning to uncover the messages we have received about our body, noticing the ways in which we perpetuate these negative messaging, and engaging in self-compassion and self-care can help us establish a better relationship with our bodies, and move towards self-acceptance and appreciation of what our bodies can do for us. Our therapists can help you heal the past hurts that have damaged self-esteem, so you can feel better about yourself from the inside out!
