59 - Negative Body Image: Why it has nothing to do with changing your body.

Negative body image affects so many people to varying degrees. At one end we have people who feel a little self-conscious and don't like how they look around their cycle. At the other end we have the people with extreme feelings and dislike of their bodies – feelings that affect all aspects of their lives from their confidence, to their career, their relationships and even their ability to get dressed in the dark. The body positive movement will just tell you to love yourself, while others will say, "oh you'll always have to manage it because it'll always be lurking in the background" ….but where does that leave the rest of us? Episode 59 flips the script on its head and explains why resolving body confidence issues has nothing to do with changing your body and what really lies at the heart of the matter. Rachel and David delve into what gives rise to negative body image in the first place, whether it's bad or wrong to want to improve your aesthetics, the key emotional factors that must be in place if you are chasing a body transformation, and why the belief of "I've always been this way and I'll always struggle with this" is absolutely and categorically untrue. Whether you're a female chasing a body transformation, a mother with young daughters, or just a regular person who struggles low with self-confidence and a negative body image, Episode 59 is a must listen.
