420: 5 Stages of Body Grief (Do You Know What Stage You're In?)

Do you relate to the idea of grieving your body? Have you ever heard this term before, body grief? We know that for SO many of our clients, the term body grief finally offers a description of how they feel IN their bodies. It offers language to the challenging emotions you feel about your body.   Grief is a challenging and intricate emotion. Our emotions affect our ability to care for ourselves, and experiencing grief is no different.     Grief will absolutely affect how we care for our bodies.  This is why it's important to allow ourselves to grieve and mourn what is lost, even if that means grieving the idea of a body that we never actually had.  We grieve the loss of our "ideal" body.  We grieve the loss of the fantasy of what a perfect body will give us in our lives.   This is where I often tell clients that the only way out is through.  Through the grief, through the pain, through the disappointment and frustration.
