Body Image Therapy: Heal Your Relationship with Your Body
Do you feel stuck in cycles of self-criticism, comparison, or shame about your appearance?
Body image concerns can quietly take over your thoughts, confidence, and daily life—but you don’t have to live this way.
Body image therapy helps you move from constant dissatisfaction and self-judgment toward self-acceptance, embodiment, and peace with your body.
When Body Image Struggles Take Over
Constantly criticize your appearance or feel “not good enough”
Avoid mirrors, photos, social events, or intimacy
Compare your body to others (especially on social media)
Feel anxiety, shame, or disgust toward your body
Obsess over weight, shape, food, or exercise
Tie your self-worth to how you look
Feel disconnected from or at war with your body
Struggle with perfectionism, control, or people-pleasing
Body image distress isn’t vanity—it’s often rooted in trauma, societal pressure, identity, and nervous system dysregulation.
