How Shame Impacts Body Image with Jenny Scheid, MA, LPC

As broken people, sin impacts all parts of who we are created to be, and our physical bodies and how we see them is no exception. I've invited therapist, Jenny Scheid on the podcast to help us understand the ways grief can prevent us from believing how valuable our bodies are, regardless of how they "fall short" according to the world's elusive standard of beauty.  As Jenny specializes in treating clients who struggle with body image and eating disorders, she understands the tempatation to target our bodies in an attempt to regain control of areas of our lives that feel hopeless. She does an incredible job at reframing how we interpret what our bodies can do when we allow God to be the primary means through which we get our needs met.   In this episode you'll learn:  Why your physical body is never the problem A practical definition of what it means to practice body acceptance Examples of how to respond when you feel overwhelmed by body shame They ways we can hide body shame behind the efforts to be healthier Why we need to cling to Scripture's promise that our bodies will be renewed Connect with Jenny: www.liferenewedtherapy.com (Phoenix, AZ)    Grab your copy of Lifted From Shame Order your eBook or print book on Amazon here.
