Having a good relationship with your body is such a challenge for so many. I know the journey well. I work with many tools to facilitate a transformation the way a person perceives themselves. Developing a friendly relationship with your body takes work especially if the messaging in childhood was not healthy. We dig into the family-culture to fully unpack and understand it. We look at the self doubt, the inner self talk and the habits of self shame. I often will have clients do home exercises in between therapy sessions. Here is an example... I have found this exercise game changing for me and for many of my clients. Try an experiment of no longer looking in the mirror at parts of your body that lead you to deeply criticize yourself which then impacts your self esteem in negative ways. Even if you're the most amazing human being in the world, if you engage in a lot of mirror time that's all about self criticism your self-value will no longer be based on your inner value, it'll be all based on that body part that you loathe. Change your mirror time! Do it for a couple months and see how your self esteem changes. This is an experiment that I did that was highly successful and I share this with clients and they have found it very successful in terms of how they now feel about themselves and their self value.. Change your relationship to how you look at yourself in the mirror now! #bodypositivity #changeyourmirrortime #bodylove #selfesteem #selfconfidence
