What is Body Image and How to Improve It with Rebekah Doweyko
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ah the ever elusive concept, body image. What even is body image? Does negative body image go away? Will it ever get better?
In this illuminating conversation with my friend and colleague, Rebekah Doweyko, we talk about the complexities associated with body image and how to approach the topic with clients who are struggling with negative body image. Spoiler alert, most people, not just those with eating disorders, have some form of negative body image, meaning we don't all love every part of our bodies all of the time... but it becomes a problem when it interferes with your everyday life which might look like canceling plans because you don't want to be seen for fear that others will judge how you look or eating less or exercising more because you want to change the way you look. Body image is multilayered with cultural, societal, relational, and transgenerational influences. It's important to ask how we each experience and define body image, as it can be different for everyone. We also need to treat body image as a chronic, rather than acute, problem. Body image doesn't go away; it persists, but it can evolve over time.
So in today's Wise Five we define body image and what contributes to it, talk about the body image continuum, the fears about persistent negative body image, and Bekah's FAQ and how she responds.
