Transforming Negative Body ImageSM
A Woman’s One-Day Workshop
Call or email for future dates.
How you feel about your inner self is revealed by how you think and talk about your body. Negative thoughts and images reflect old painful experiences and cultural attitudes. Our society gives women the message that if we are not the perfect size it is impossible to be happy, successful, sexually desirable, fashionable, lovable, or capable of moving with grace. Many of us spend much of our lives comparing our bodies to others. No matter what our body size, we have learned to use negative body image to keep ourselves from doing what we love and from living a full life.
Through lecture, discussion and experiential exercises you will learn to:
• Discover who and what has influenced your body image story.
• Change the way you think and talk about your body.
• Recognize how you use food, shopping, exercise, and relationships to numb how
you feel about your body.
• Learn to expand your definition of beauty and experience a new sense of yourself.
You will have opportunities to develop a nurturing connection with your body, thereby transforming your negative body image.
