Body image concerns can originate in unresolved issues—either from the past or from current life stressors. In the current iteration of our society, people living in larger bodies are stigmatized, ridiculed, and bullied. They are made to feel like they don’t belong. Add to this the perpetuation of the “big lie” that if you are thin, you will fit in, be happy, and be healthy.
In this webinar, we discuss the journey to healing from trauma and childhood adversity. This journey is not something that can be prescribed by anyone, as each individual’s path is different. Learn about guides to help an individual reintegrate the parts of themselves they have shunned, the image of their body that has been perverted by society, and the dreams and desires that may have been thrown to the wayside.
In this webinar you will learn to:
- Identify childhood adversity and other underlying causes contributing to body image issues.
- Discuss how the “big lie” has impacted the development of eating disorders.
- Identify and discuss how acceptance and belonging can impact recovery and specifically body image issues.
- Presenter:
- Carolyn Coker Ross, MD, MPH, CEDS-S
- African American author, speaker, and expert in using Integrative Medicine for the treatment of food and body image issues and addictions. CEO of The Anchor Program.
