Body Image
“And I said to my body softly, ‘I want to be your friend.’ It took a long breath and replied, ‘I have been waiting my whole life for this.’”
– Nayyirah Waheed
Body image is how you see, feel, and think about your body and how those views can impact your daily life.
A person’s body image can include views on that person’s: size, age, skin appearance, racial & ethnic identity, gender identity, sexual orientation, physical & mental capabilities, and many other parts of the body.
Each person’s body image can be influenced by messages they receive from others, life experiences, media messaging, and other influences.
At Sapphire Cove, we help the individual explore the needs of their body, in order to achieve a balanced perspective for their daily living.
Body image work is approached at all times with compassion and inclusivity of the individual and their lived experiences.
