Why Body Image & Self Acceptance is Important in Recovery

Body image issues affect people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds—and the emotional toll can be overwhelming. In a society saturated with unrealistic beauty standards and harmful diet culture messages, it’s no wonder so many of us internalize shame about our bodies. Our Body Image & Self-Acceptance programs are designed to help you break free from these patterns by fostering a healthier, more accepting relationship with your body. Through guided support and evidence-based tools, we’ll address the deep emotional roots of body image struggles and eating disorders. Whether you're in the early stages of healing or looking to deepen your self-acceptance journey, these programs create space for recovery, empowerment, and meaningful change.

This two-hour workshop offers a foundational look at topics explored in our longer-running body image groups. You'll begin to unpack diet culture's impact and learn practices to support a more compassionate connection with your body.
