Body Image & Body Shame
Reflection rejection.
Looking in the mirror causes shame, loathing, and disgust.
Bodily imperfections are highlighted and spotlighted.
Hidden in humiliation, no one should see you.
Pressure to change.
Bombarded by messages and images, you strive for the “ideal” body.
Transforming your body shape will resolve despair and misery.
Time, money, and pleasure are lost in the desperate pursuit to
measure up.
I wish we could treat our bodies as the place we live from, rather than regard it as a place to be worked on, as though it were a disagreeable old kitchen in need of renovation and update.
Susie Orbach
