How Shame Impacts Body Image with Jenny Scheid, MA, LPC
As broken people, sin impacts all parts of who we are created to be, and our physical bodies and how we see them is no exception. I’ve invited Licensed Professional Counselor, Jenny Scheid on the podcast to help us understand the ways grief can prevent us from believing how valuable our bodies are, regardless of how they "fall short" according to the world’s elusive standard of beauty.
As Jenny specializes in treating clients who struggle with body image and eating disorders, she understands the tempatation to target our bodies in an attempt to regain control of areas of our lives that feel hopeless. She does an incredible job at reframing how we interpret what our bodies can do when we allow God to be the primary means through which we get our needs met.
In this episode you’ll learn:
Why your physical body is never the problem
A practical definition of what it means to practice body acceptance
Examples of how to respond when you feel overwhelmed by body shame
They ways we can hide body shame behind the efforts to be healthier
Why we need to cling to Scripture’s promise that our bodies will be renewed
