BODY IMAGE THERAPY

Your relationship with your body can be shaped by countless experiences; from family and relationships to culture, social media, health experiences, and messages about what your body “should” look like. Over time, these messages can contribute to comparison, shame, self-criticism, or feeling disconnected from your body.

Body image therapy offers a space to explore these experiences without centering weight, appearance, or changing your body. At Tangled Roots, we approach body image through a compassionate, weight-inclusive lens, helping you develop a relationship with yourself that feels less rooted in criticism and more grounded in respect, acceptance, and trust.y

HOW THERAPY CAN HELP

Together, we may work to:

  • Explore the experiences and messages that shaped your body image

  • Reduce body checking, comparison, and appearance-related anxiety

  • Challenge shame and negative beliefs about your body

  • Navigate social media, diet culture, and societal expectations

  • Explore the connection between body image, identity, and self-worth

  • Build greater body trust and self-compassion

  • Develop a more neutral or accepting relationship with your body

  • Address body image concerns alongside disordered eating or eating disorder recovery

Our goal is not to teach you that you have to love every part of your body every day; it’s to help your body take up less emotional space in your life, allowing you to feel more present, connected, and free.
