Episode 34 | Societal Body Image with Kristen Gingrich, LCSW, CADC
from Psych Talk · host Dr. Jessica Rabon
In today's episode of Psych Talk, I speak with Kristen Gingrich, LSCW, CADC about societal body image. Body image is something that the vast majority of individuals will struggle with at some point in their life and the messages we receive from society about the way we "should" look like impact how we view ourselves and our bodies. Kristen discusses her own journey with body image and her growth from her teenage years and early 20s to where she is now. We discuss the messages that society sends us about body image and how those messages impact one's mental health. We also spend a lot of time discussing the role of social media, especially for teens these days, in one's perception of self and the image we feel like we have to portray to the world. Further, Kristen provides tips and insights on how to enhance your body image, despite constant messages from society telling you how you "should" look.Connect with Kristen:TikTok: notyouraveragethrpstIG: notyouraveragethrpstWays to Work With Me:1:1 CoachingMind Over MatterLGBTQ+ Affirming MasterclassResources:Anti-Racism ResourcesLGBTQ+ Affirming ResourcesConnect with Me:Follow me on IG @jessicaleighphd.Join my Facebook community: Grow Through What You Go ThroughSign up for my Email List here.Intro/Outro Music:Life of Riley by Kevin MacLeodMusic LicenseAwakening Together, Relaxing into Happiness with William Cooper, M.Th., LPCExperience Awakening....Relaxing into your Being and, therefore, Happiness.
