If you are someone who struggles with negative body image, it's important to remember that our bodies are unique and deserving of love and care, regardless of how they look. It's also important to recognize that societal standards of beauty can be unrealistic and harmful. We can challenge these standards by embracing body diversity and practicing self-compassion. It takes time and effort to shift negative beliefs about our bodies, but with patience and support, it's possible to cultivate a healthier relationship with our physical selves. Remember, your worth is not determined by your appearance.

Body dissatisfaction is a painful self-image preoccupation that profoundly affects self-esteem, self-confidence and social life. It can range from feeling uncomfortable in your body to being unable to attend events because you feel ashamed of your body size and shape. While body image has typically been thought to be a problem that only affected a certain demographic, research shows that it affects people of all ages and genders. If you are self-conscious of your body, continually compare yourself to others, take a long time to find something to wear, frequently weigh or check your body, or isolate, then you understand the torment and anxiety that comes with worrying about your body image.
There are several approaches that work well for reconstructing body image including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Compassion-Focused Therapy. We work from an inclusive, trauma-informed approach to help you understand your relationship with your body. We believe that every body is unique and therefore perfect. We will help you address the negative thinking caused by body dissatisfaction.
If you have been dealing with body image preoccupation for too long, please reach out for a free consultation. We would be happy to talk about how we can help.

Sarah Glinski
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Qualifying)
How you perceive and feel about yourself is a key indicator of how happy and emotionally stable you are. You may be feeling insecure, critical, helpless, incompetent or unlovable. I work with clients to explore the root of these beliefs and challenge them. This allows my clients to unlearn thoughts and beliefs that are harmful and limiting while learning to genuinely love and appreciate themselves and the value that they bring to the world. I would love to hear from you to determine if I can help you re-imagine how you see yourself. Reach out to book a free consultation.

Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
For many of us, the body image messages we’ve received from our external world have become internalized. We’ve created a dialogue for ourselves convincing us that our bodies are not good enough, not worthy of love, respect, kindness or acceptance and that they need to change. Having issues with our body image can show up in our thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and relationships, and can very easily lead to significant self-esteem issues, anxiety, and disordered eating.
Get in touch to learn more on dismantling the body image narrative we've had for so long, and work towards a place of body acceptance and neutrality.
