What Are Your Body Image Challenges Somatically Trying To Tell You?

Happy Satiated Saturday! 

What I have seen is that even after food coping mechanisms like binge eating, emotional eating, restricting, or chronic dieting stops, body image concerns continue to hang around the longest. 

With summer here, I know how difficult this time of year can be when the temperatures are guiding you to wear less clothing and you may feel exposed and uncomfortable. The warm weather may be calling to you to get outside where you might be more seen and your body doesn't know if that's safe. 

So, welcome to a month long focus on body image. I've got some amazing interviews lined up over this next month exploring all things body image healing and I'm kicking it off today with a few of my initial somatic perspectives on relationship with your body's appearance. 

In this week's Satiated Podcast episode​, I talk about a somatic, nervous system, and trauma lens to your body image challenges and why they won't go away.

I will be offering a workshop focused on body image called Befriending Your Body Image Challenges with Somatic Eating® Practices Workshop.

This will be a live two hour workshop where you will learn the somatic wisdom behind your body image concerns, discover a nervous system and trauma lens to body image challenges, and somatic practices to navigate difficult body image days, the scale, comparing yourself to past body expressions, and seeing pictures of yourself.

We will explore the wisdom in your body image challenges and what they’re trying to support you with to feel safe and secure in your body. You will walk away with new insights into what your body may be trying to relay by having you worry about your body’s appearance. If you can't attend live, the call will be recorded to watch the replay later. To sign up, click ​HERE​: https://satiated.mykajabi.com/offers/EkFBjX2Q
