Welcome to the tenth episode of the Wisdom for Wellbeing Podcast. On this episode I interview Dr. Emily K. Sandoz, a brilliant researcher, author and clinician in the field of body-related difficulties.

This episode is incredibly important given the high likelihood that you will identify with the experience of being dissatisfied with your body at some point in your life. Further, an increasing number of both women and men do then go on to develop eating disorders. Alongside this, you have no doubt heard of the #bodypositive movement – it is growing – but, Dr. Sandoz talks through the reasons why this may actually be more harmful than helpful. Instead, Dr. Sandoz will introduce you to the concept of body image flexibility, and how you can make peace with your and life a life that feels full to you.

What is covered in this episode:

>> The concept of ‘Body Image’ and different experiences and challenges

>> An introduction to the concept of Body Image Flexibility

>> Acceptance and Commitment Therapy-based approach to treating body image concerns

>> How pain that impairs your ability to life your full life becomes suffering

>> How values can guide your life, including work with body image

>> How to support the development of a more helpful sense of self from an early age

>> How body image experiences affect you emotionally and physically
