Transform Body Image Worries with a Somatic and Nervous System Regulation Approach

Happy Satiated Saturday! Body image concerns are often one of the many challenges that fuel disordered eating and eating disorders and are one of the worries that continue to stick around long after you've found a safe relationship with food. There can be an expectation when you've healed your body image challenges that you'll never worry about the way your body looks, that you'll never compare your body to someone else's body ever again, that you'll love the way you look in pictures, and that you won't even care if your body changes. A somatic approach to body image would be increasing your capacity to be with body discomfort, meeting your body worry with curiosity, exploring the nervous system message in your body judgment, and regardless of what you think about your body, knowing that you are still safe in this body. In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat about: A somatic and nervous system perspective to body image healingAn example of how body image concerns are coming from a trauma responseWhat I do when I notice body image concerns ariseYou can also read the transcript to this week’s episode ​here​:https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/transform-body-image-worries With the new year coming up, there are going to be more social media posts, commercials, and comments by your friends and family about what diet they're starting or what weight loss drug they're getting on. Keep connecting back with yourself to explore what you need to feel safe within these conversations and within the discomfort that may arise.
