Infographics

and other helpful resources.
Please be sure to download and save these resources. You may require a free Zip File downloader such as WinRAR to help you download these resources at one time.
In Part 2, we will cover addressing body based behaviours (such as body checking, body avoidance, comparisons, clothing and body fixing behaviours), taming the inner critic (working with negative body image thoughts/beliefs) and objectification/ self-objectification.
In part 3, you will learn about how to apply media and social media literacy to protect body image, especially when engaging with online and other appearance based content, how to apply assertiveness, communication and boundaries in the context of body shaming and body based commentary, how to work with embodiment, misattribution of feelings and self-compassion and how to support clients to be empowerment and authentic in their experience of living in the world. We also cover the body satisfaction flower to finish off Day 1.
Thank you for participating in day 1 of 'Seeing the Whole Picture: A practical guide for clinicians supporting body image '. We hope you found the training useful in deep diving into the broader and historical factors relevant for body image.
You will find below a few things to wrap up your training and to support further learning.
