Could your boundaries use some work? If you've struggled with your health and weight for some time, you might be able to pinpoint it on certain life stressors, a demanding job, an injury, genetics, or the belief that you lack discipline.

We often hear from our clients that body and weight have been a topic of conversation from the time they were little kids. Your body and weight may have been criticized, policed, praised, scrutinized, shamed, or complimented early in life and it doesn't stop when we grow up either. Your personal trainer, doctor, friends, or spouse might say something about your weight, especially if it has gone up or down recently. Receiving critical comments about our bodies can be annoying, discouraging, and damaging to our overall health and well being. Hearing something positive about our body or appearance might feel really good. But is it as simple as people saying negative things about our bodies makes us feel bad and saying positive things makes us feel good? Not quite. Join Georgie and Christina as we discuss how we help clients navigate body talk and compliments. In the episode, we cover some tips on giving compliments to other people And in the second part of the episode, we talk about how to be on the receiving end of body talk with real client examples.
