#309: Attachment Styles and Body Image (Body Image Series)

I’m talking about how attachment styles relate to body image. I’m sharing briefly about what the attachment styles are, how they relate to body image, self-compassion, body grief, and what we can do with this information.Show notes: summerinnanen.com/309   In this episode, I talk about: - The four main types of attachment styles and a brief overview of some of their characteristics, - A few critiques of attachment theory, - That our body image is heavily influenced by how the world perceives us and our interpersonal relationships, - That there is a significant association between attachment anxiety and body image concerns, - That attachment anxiety and avoidance are linked to lower self-compassion and how that makes body image work more challenging, - How to work on attachment and body image together, - Plus so much more!  Get the shownotes: www.summerinnanen.com/309   Get the free 10-Day Body Confidence Makeover with 10 steps to feel better in your body at summerinnanen.com/freebies If you're a professional who has clients or students that struggle with body image, get the Body Image Coaching Roadmap for professionals at summerinnanen.com/roadmap   Support the show via Ko-Fi - go to ko-fi.com/summerinnanen and you can make a monthly contribution.
