Body Image Concerns
When we hold shame about our bodies, we often become disconnected from ourselves and those around us. You might feel you have missed out on magical experiences with friends and lovers because you were distracted by comparison and cruel thoughts about your body. You might find it hard to stay present during sexual intimacy because you’re trying to imagine how your body is being perceived from different angles. Maybe you were taught by our culture or other influential figures that there was something wrong with you because of how your body looks or behaves. Repairing your relationship with your body is hard work that can powerfully shift your relationships, making you more available for pleasure and connection. We’re here for you on your journey to radical self-acceptance!
