Struggles with coping with body image concerns can lead to problems with relationships, work, or other areas of our lives. Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with the right therapist, you can explore how to address your body image concerns and how these struggles may impact your happiness and ability to get what you want. By talking with someone you trust and feel comfortable with, I believe anyone can learn to know themselves better and to get more of what they want from life.
We have many therapists who are experienced in working with body image issues. Please take a look at our general statement here and our website: https://talkingworkscounseling.com/
I firmly believe that body image issues/body dysmorphia are phenomenons that we are actually socially encouraged to have, making it especially thorny to untangle. That being said, it IS possible, and I genuinely appreciate being able to help others in that process.
When working with clients experiencing Body Dysmorphic Disorder, I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a focus on exposure and response prevention (ERP). This approach helps clients challenge distorted thoughts, reduce compulsive behaviors, and develop a healthier, more balanced self-image.
Therapy provides individuals with the tools, support, and guidance they need to address body image concerns, build resilience, and cultivate a more positive and compassionate relationship with their bodies. By seeking therapy, individuals can embark on a journey of healing, self-discovery, and empowerment that leads to greater self-acceptance and well-being.
