Mirror, mirror on the wall

Last Tuesday I was joined by psychologist Genevieve Milnes M.App.Psych, MA (Couns), B.Ed, B.Div from the Belmont Counselling Clinic during my morning radio programme on 98.5 Sonshine FM and we started a series of discussions about body image.

We continued the subject today looking at why we feel the way we do about our bodies.

How do we draw the line between wanting to get our bodies into the best shape possible and developing unhealthy body image problems?

We especially focussed on body image problems with women today but many of the principles are just as valid for men.

Why do women hate their bodies? What would happen if all women stopped hating their bodies?
