This workshop will highlight the negative body image crisis that plagues society. We will discuss the ever-changing body image throughout history, its implications to current-day perceptions of our bodies, and tools to shift those perspectives.
Learning Objectives
- To gain an understanding of the ever-changing Western “ideal body” throughout history (over the past 100+ years or so).
- To learn valuable tools to use with clients to shift negative perceptions of self and body image.
- To gain a deeper understanding of the implications that external messaging places on the internal perception of self, as relates to body image.
