From Crisis to Connection: Amy Harman - Making peace with your body - Episode 63

I interview Amy Harman, LMFT about the challenge of making peace with our bodies in a body-obsessed and pornified culture. In this interview, we cover: 

• The definition of good body image
• How poor body image really isn't about our bodies
• How poor body image impacts men and women
• How we develop poor body image
• The first steps to changing poor body image
• What we really learn about ourselves when we address our body image issues. 

Amy just released her new book, "Perfectly Imperfect: Compassionate Strategies to Cultivate a Positive Body Image" that you can purchase here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1646116720
