Body image refers to an individual's perception, thoughts, feelings, and attitudes towards their own body. It is influenced by various factors including cultural standards, media messages, and personal experiences. A negative body image can lead to low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression, and can interfere with daily life activities. On the other hand, a positive body image is associated with better mental health and overall well-being.
Body image concerns are common and can affect people of all ages and genders. Psychotherapy can help individuals develop a healthier relationship with their body by addressing negative thoughts and beliefs, exploring their personal experiences, and promoting self-acceptance and self-compassion. If you or a loved one is struggling with body image concerns, a licensed mental health professional can provide support and guidance towards a more positive and healthy relationship with your body.

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.

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.

Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
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.
