#213: Rant on “love your body” & “body positivity” messaging (Body Image Series)

I’m going on a bit of a rant about the mainstream messages about “love your body” and “body positivity,” and then I take a deep dive into what we might really want and mean when we talk about loving our body, as part of the Body Image Series. Show notes: summerinnanen.com/213 In this episode, we talk about: - How my clients often react negatively to this language and why the pressure for body positivity can result in doubling down on shame, - What I found when looking up these phrases' hashtags, how they’ve been co-opted, and some of the better hashtags to follow that haven’t been co-opted in the same way, - Why we need more representation without explanation or justification, - How body neutrality takes the focus away from the need to feel a certain way about your body, - That we often imagine looking at ourselves and judging ourselves through the male-gaze and society’s beauty standards, - The freedom of not caring how you look and the impact it can have on your life, Plus so much more!
