Listen "Becoming Anchored S6E10: What Does Body Peace Really Mean?"
Episode Synopsis
Host and licensed therapist Laura Deneen is joined by fellow host and licensed therapist Lauren Jackson.
Together we discuss what body peace really means and how to navigate it when we experience discomfort in our bodies.
Key Takeaways:
What Is Body Peace?: We discuss the myth that body peace means we need to love our bodies or accept our bodies all the time. Lauren and Laura discuss how body peace looks like staying connected to our bodies even when we are experiencing discomfort and distress in our bodies, or if we feel our bodies have betrayed us or we cannot trust them.
Moving Towards Body Peace: Lauren explores the idea that when we are uncomfortable in our bodies, regardless of the reason, it doesn’t mean our bodies are doing something wrong. She validates it can be uncomfortable to live in our bodies and she reminds you that you can trust your body and encourages you to take care of it. This helps move towards body peace.
Resisting The Urge and Moving Forward: Together we encourage you to resist the urge to engage in harmful behaviors towards your body. And we also validate and see you if you have experienced difficult moments that have led you to take it out on your body. Laura encourages you to explore steps you can take to have a more peaceful relationship with your body and to lessen the distress you experience with your body.
This episode provides insight into what body peace is and how to take steps towards taking care of your body to alleviate distress.
Homework: Journal about what body peace means for you.
Affirmation: “Tending to my body and caring for my body in the midst of discomfort and distress will move me towards body peace.”
