In a world full of weight stigma and body positivity movements, it might feel confusing to work on healing your relationship with your body. You may have tried healing your body through listening to those who were supposed to be authorities on “health” but later found out it was all just a marketing scheme. Maybe […]
You have probably heard the term “trigger” before. It’s become quite the buzzword, whether in casual conversation or in therapy.
