47. Grieving Your Ideal Body (The Body Image Reframe that Changes Everything)

If you struggle with body image, you probably feel like you have tried pretty much everything to improve it. Maybe you've done affirmations, reminded yourself that you are uniquely beautiful, told yourself you are more than a body, or any number of other techniques out there, but you STILL don't feel like it is working. This episode is here to fill that gap. Today's episode discusses body grief and explains how letting go of the idealized vision you have of your body elicits feelings similar to the 5 stages of grief cycle.
We discuss:

What is grief and how the heck does it pertain to body image
What it feels like and looks like to be in the 5 stages
Action items for each stage to help you move past the struggles you are experiencing
An understandable and important analogy to help you grasp this concept
The six stage, that is often forgotten, which is critical to full healing
What body acceptance is and how it applies to this scenario

And so much more.
