Body image is how we think and feel about ourselves physically, and how we believe others see us.

When we talk about body image, there are lots of ways we can think about our body and the way we look. You might find that there are times when you like your body, or parts of your body, and times when you struggle with how you look.

Body image is not just about our weight, it can also be things like:

• comparing how you look with friends or people you follow on social media
• struggling to love and accept your body
• feeling as though your body shape is not represented in the media
• hiding your body because you feel ashamed by it
• struggling to find clothes for your body, particularly if you have a physical disability
• feeling misunderstood about your body when people make assumptions about things like why you might need a wheelchair
• feeling like you are not attractive enough
• birthmarks, surgery scars or acne affecting how you feel about how you look
• feeling as though your body does not match your gender. 

Call me so we can unpick all of this, teach you some techniques to follow and get your back on track to seeing a brighter future and a better way of managing the stresses we encounter daily, and those that are bigger that throw us off course.
