Find Peace With Your Body

Negative body image is one of the top two risk factors for relapsing in eating disorder recovery.

Body image dissatisfaction has also been linked to:

• a higher negative affect (depression, anxiety, stress)
• overall distress
• inflammation
• keeping us from living our lives (...literally)!

Unfortunately, no matter how much you learn about body image - that information won’t translate into a better relationship with your body and self if you aren't taking actionable steps. As humans we learn from experience, so this course walks you through the many facets of what leads to a positive body image and supports you in this ebb & flow journey. It’s your actual LIVED experiences that help truly shift beliefs and build tiny layer upon tiny layer of body trust. This course will support you in that process.

Who is this course for?

• YOU if you are working on food peace and Intuitive Eating but feel like something is missing
• YOU if you are recovering from disordered eating & wondering how to navigate body changes and weight gain
• YOU if thoughts & feelings about your body get in the way of living your life fully
• YOU if you find yourself comparing to other people and feeling badly about yourself
• YOU if you want to build a fulfilling life outside of your body size

What can you expect once you purchase the course?

This course will explain the complexities of body image and how to form a more peaceful relationship with your body using a step-by-step approach that’s easy to implement.

Course outline:

• Module 1:

What even is body image and why should you care about your body image?

What does it mean to have a positive body image? (hint: it's NOT about loving your body!)

What things in your past contribute to your current body image? How did you get here?

What are your values? Why are values so important when it comes to making peace with your body at any size?

• Module 2:

How IE & HAES support a positive body image

Debunking weight science & why dieting doesn’t work (research is showing that a positive body image is more important than body size itself!)

Weight stigma & the thin ideal - how do these two things deeply impact us and how we feel about our bodies?

• Module 3:

Discussing WHY you (and every woman) feel like you have to fit an ideal to be happy and successful

DEBUNKING and questioning where these beliefs come from!

Building body trust & dealing with body changes (THIS is the biggest area I see people get stuck as they’re starting to learn and practice intuitive eating and/or recover from an eating disorder, especially if weight gain is also happening and this is 100% NORMAL. We’ll talk through things like set point theory & fostering body image flexibility (bad body days are NORMAL!) and how to start accepting your natural body size)

• Module 4:

I walk you through 20+ areas to focus on to cultivate a healthier relationship with food & your body

Examples include:

• what to do about comparison (it’s natural, so how do we keep it from holding us back?)
• social media literacy (identifying problematic content and how to actively protect yourself from hurtful messaging)
• reframing (shifting those negative thoughts your brain tells you are fact...because guess what? they’re not!)
• emotions (& how to sit with being uncomfortable)
• dealing with diet talk
