the root of your body shame: self-objectification

The first step of healing body shame is understanding where it comes from. In this video, we dive deep into the science and psychology of self-objectification—a hidden but powerful force that shapes how women see, experience, and treat themselves. You'll learn:

🔹 What self-objectification is and how it differs from healthy self-awareness
🔹 How it happens through cultural beauty standards, media, and early socialization
🔹 The emotional and psychological toll it takes—on body shame, body image, confidence, and mental health
🔹 What neuroscience tells us about the cognitive effects on the brain—including body shame, impaired flow states, increased anxiety, and disrupted interoceptive awareness
🔹 Evidence-based strategies to reconnect with your body and begin healing from self-objectification and body shame

This isn’t just about appearances—it's about reclaiming presence, agency, and embodiment. If you’ve ever felt like you were watching your life instead of living it, this is for you.
