Understanding the Journey of Healing Body Shame
In our first conversation with Jenny Scheid, we learned how shame can show up in how we think and feel about our bodies. As we dive deeper into this very pervasive challenge, Jenny will help us learn how to capture the lies that are fueling our shame and begin to practice honoring our bodies instead.
We will touch on what might hinder our healing journey in this area and examples of the specific exercises Jenny does in her work with clients as she helps them develop self-compassion and resilience.
