How I Learned to Hate My Body: Overcoming Body Dysmorphia in the LGBTQ+ Community

How I Learned to Hate My Body: Overcoming Body Dysmorphia in the LGBTQ+ Community

This is the start of a long and sometimes difficult conversation. Though it’s different from our normal episodes, it’s clear that this is very important to many of us! I didn’t realize until recently that struggling with body image is a common thread amongst much of the LGBTQ+ community. I thought I was alone, but now I’m feeling empowered that there are others right here with me. Feeling seen and understood has helped me monumentally, and I want to talk about it.

I don’t like how I look and yet I stand here staring. In all honesty, I’ve struggled with body dysmorphia for most of my life and I only just recently have been able to put words to it.

In this episode we’re answering the questions: Where does body dysmorphia even come from? How can I learn to better love myself so I can truly be emotionally available to my family? What are the therapeutic tools in my kit to address feelings of inadequacy? What will we teach our kids about our bodies?

Make sure to rate our podcast and leave us a review, it really helps us out!
