Shifting the Way We See Ourselves 🪞
Body image struggles often show up quietly through avoidance, self criticism, or waiting to feel good enough before fully participating in life. One evidence based strategy used in therapy is gradual exposure. By taking small and intentional steps to face body image fears, individuals can begin to challenge unhelpful thought patterns and reduce avoidance behaviors over time.
During National Eating Disorders Awareness Week, we are highlighting practical tools that support healthier relationships with food, body image, and self worth.
If you are concerned about your child or teen’s body image or relationship with food, our team of licensed psychologists at Pediatric Psychology Associates is here to help.
