This week on the pod Laura’s chatting to Dr Amy Slater, body image researcher at University of West England.
In this episode they discuss:
✨ Thin ideal internalisation + its physical and psychological consequences
✨ How social media holds certain body types up as the ideal + can leave us feeling dissatisfied
✨ The fact that labelling images as digitally altered is not actually helpful in reducing comparison + dissatisfaction and can actually backfire
✨ How advertising in traditional media + social media can impact body image
✨ That even positive feedback about appearance impacts negatively on our body image
✨ What social comparison is + how this has changed with social media
✨ The consequences of viewing fitspiration + self-objectification on Instagram
✨ How we can curate a social media feed that’s supportive of positive body image

Such a great topic, that isn’t spoken about enough! Just had a client today and we were discusssing the amount of socials pressures men and women have to look good are constantly growing. Also the pressures women feel after their pregnancy, and they feel they need to be back in shape immediately!
