“A ground-breaking integration of positive psychology and body awareness, Erica’s book provides just the right mix of pointed cultural critique and heart-opening compassion. You will find the voice of a friend whose truth-telling is both provoking and healing. I recommend this book for everyone looking to truly love their bodies.”

Body Image
- Do you wish your insides and your outsides matched up more, and who you are on the inside was reflected on the outside?
- Do you want a better job, or a higher salary, and to feel like your physical presentation is aligned with the position you know yourself capable of holding?
- Do you wish people responded to you in a way that is congruent with how you feel about yourself?
- Would you like to feel more confident dating, being intimate, or addressing your changing body, desires, and needs with the partner you’re with?
- Do you wish your life reflected more accurately the person you feel yourself to be?
- Would you like to go the gym and feel like you fit in, or love the clothes that you’re wearing, and feel confident wearing them?
- Are you injured, or ill, or getting older, and these natural developments are causing major disturbances in your daily life, tripping up your forward momentum for a positive and healthy future?
Many of these inner longings are the outer expression of a discomfort with body image.
While there are established clinical ways of evaluating body image, I define body image as, a relationship we establish and maintain with our body and then project out and into the world.
The results of this inner experience of ourselves in relationship WITH ourselves – including our bodies! - show up outwardly as confidence and self-esteem, how we value our talents, time, and energy, and in the quality of our relationships and who we choose to surround ourselves with.
If any of this speaks to you, and you’re interested in learning more about this work, I have a few pathways open for you.
