Therapy for Body Image
Transforming Perspectives, Cultivating Confidence, Embracing You.
Body image refers to an individual's perception of and attitude toward their own body. A negative body image can contribute to low self-esteem and emotional challenges.
At Bloom, we prioritize a personalized approach during therapy sessions, providing tailored support to address each individual's unique needs and foster a positive sense of self.
Addressing Body Image
Negative body image has become a pervasive issue in society, with children as young as five expressing fears about weight and food. Cultural pressures and societal messaging often instill body-related anxieties in both boys and girls, a concern that has only grown with the heightened focus on weight and the “war on obesity.”
At Bloom Body & Healing, we are dedicated to fostering a positive body image and promoting a healthy, balanced lifestyle for everyone. Our approach helps individuals discover flexible, sustainable ways to care for their bodies that are tailored to their unique needs. By embracing this journey, you can release feelings of frustration and negativity toward your body and instead move forward with a sense of joy, confidence, and fulfillment.
Signs and Symptoms
If you find yourself consumed by thoughts about your body from the moment you wake up until you go to bed, or if you often blame your body for the challenges in your life, it can feel overwhelming and unproductive. At Bloom Body & Healing, we help you uncover the true causes of your struggles, empowering you to find real, actionable solutions.
By learning to approach your body with kindness and understanding, you can shift your focus toward creating a more fulfilling, balanced, and productive life. Let us help you embrace a healthier relationship with yourself and your body.
Does this sound familiar?
Therapy can be an effective approach for addressing body image concerns, allowing individuals to explore the underlying factors that have contributed to their current perspective. A key component of improving body image is practicing self-compassion and recognizing that one's appearance is not a reflection of their work ethic, personality, or intrinsic worth as a person. Through therapy, we guide individuals in developing a healthier, more positive relationship with their body and themselves.
Health at Every Size
Health at Every Size (HAES) is a movement that emphasizes well-being and healthy habits over the number on the scale. It acknowledges that every individual's genetic makeup uniquely influences their bone structure, body size, shape, and weight. The core principles of HAES include accepting your body size, trusting your body's cues, adopting sustainable and healthy lifestyle habits, finding joy in movement, listening to your hunger signals, and embracing the diversity of body sizes. At Bloom Body & Healing, we support this holistic approach to health and well-being for every individual.
