Negative body image moments can feel like they 'come out of nowhere' and suck the joy out of your day. And if your body image is chronically bad, it can be even a week, month, year, or lifetime. I'm going to let you in on a secret, these bad body image moments can also happen even when you've healed your body image! In fact, not too long ago, I experienced one of the worst body image moments I've had in a really really long time, probably even years! A big misconception, and one that my clients I've been working with a for a while bring up often, is the belief that if you have a healthy body image and positive relationship with our body, then you won't or you 'shouldn't' (ugh, there's the pesky word again) have bad body image thoughts or feelings EVER. The truth is, a healthy body image doesn't mean you'll never have a bad body image thought, day or moment. A healthy body image is knowing how to respond and work through these moments in a way that is kind and honors you and your body. In this podcast episode, I share with you how I do that in real time (so you can, too!) and turned around a really bad body image experience (I mean, I nearly cried!), to one that felt compassionate and empowering and left me feeling GOOD. Whether you struggle with your body image all day every day or feel like you're doing well and then spiral when you are hit with a bad body image moment - you'll find this episode relatable, practical, and healing. In this episode we cover: The moment that triggered Rachel to have negative body image thoughts The processed she used to work through and overcome the negative feelings toward her body How she turned around her negative body image moment into empowerment and healing The steps she took to feel amazing in her body without dieting, restricting, or shaming LINKS MENTIONED: FREE Believable Body Image Healing Guide: how to reframe your negative body image thoughts into deep healing your mind will actually believe, click HERE to get it now.
