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.

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.

So many messages tell us how our bodies and faces should look to be accepted, valued, validated, and fit in. In fact our bodies and faces are beautiful and work so hard to help us function and experience the world. Together we will discover the messages received that have lead to feeling disconnected from your true self, and reclaim it and honour it.

Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, RCT, RCC, CCC, ATR-P
At Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy, we provide specialized care for individuals navigating body image challenges, particularly in the context of gender dysphoria and the struggle for alignment between one’s internal identity and external appearance. Our therapeutic focus centers on somatic and relational approaches, tailored to address the complexities of body congruency and self-acceptance in the face of gender identity struggles.
Through somatic therapy techniques, we guide clients in exploring the ways in which their body-related distress manifests physically and emotionally. By fostering a deep connection between mind and body, our therapists help individuals process and integrate their experiences, promoting a sense of unity and empowerment within themselves.
Our relational approach emphasizes building a secure and empathetic therapeutic relationship that supports individuals through their journey of self-discovery and body acceptance. We create a safe space for clients to explore their feelings, thoughts, and experiences related to body image, gender identity, and self-expression without fear of judgment.
By integrating somatic and relational modalities, we aim to assist clients in cultivating a more harmonious relationship with their bodies and gender identity. Through this holistic and affirming approach, individuals can work towards embracing their authentic selves, fostering self-compassion, and nurturing a positive body image that aligns with their true identity. Our goal is to provide a supportive environment where clients can embark on a transformative journey towards self-acceptance, authenticity, and inner peace.
