Self acceptance is key to body acceptance

I believe body acceptance reflects self acceptance; that how we feel towards, think and value our “selves” is the key to how we treat our bodies. I also acknowledge that social and cultural values strongly influence the communities, families and groups we belong to and thus affect how we value our bodies and our selves. To recover from an eating disorder we need to help the individual and address the broader sociocultural factors at play. I believe there are 3 foundational truths that (experienced) can liberate a person from unhelpful cultural and internalised values and bring healing to the dis-ease at the heart of disordered eating. I welcome your feedback and questions. [email protected] @mp_sparkes
