How to Think Differently About Body Image Work with Sarah O’Keefe

Therapist and podcast host Lili Torre, LPC is joined by trauma therapist Sarah O’Keefe, LPC for a refreshing conversation on embodiment, aging, and the lifelong process of connecting with our bodies. Sarah shares how her work with trauma survivors has informed her understanding of how the body holds experience, and how practices like bird-watching, community building, and intergenerational connection can help us relate to our bodies in more compassionate and expansive ways. This episode offers wisdom, curiosity, and a perspective you might not have heard before, especially if you’re navigating trauma, exploring your relationship with your body and aging, or looking for new ways to slow down and feel more present in your life.
