Summary
In this week’s episode, I’m talking to Ashlee Bennett, a.k.a. The Body Image Therapist, an art therapist based in Australia.
We discuss:
✨ Why changing your body to try and conform to our society's feminine ideal is not the key to flexible and healthy body image
✨ What internalised fat-phobia and sexism are and how they relate to our body image
✨ How we can start to unpack our internalised beliefs about bodies from diet culture
✨ Tools to help develop positive body image
