What if your negative body image isn't the villain in your story but actually a messenger trying to help you?

In today’s episode, Aimee sits down with Deb Schachter, one of Boston's leading clinicians in body image and eating disorder recovery, to explore a revolutionary approach to working with body image that goes far beyond body positivity.

Deb takes us through:

- How body image is multi-dimensional; it holds our entire story, past experiences, and present moment feelings

- The "rotary" effect: How we quickly jump into "fix-it" mode without addressing what triggered the spike

- Shape-shifting patterns: How early family dynamics shape our patterns of emotional and physical adaptation

- Why negative body image may be trying to protect or guide us

- Three core muscles to develop: Mindful awareness, curiosity, and compassion toward our body image experiences

And so much more!

Deb is recognized as one of Boston’s leading clinicians in the areas of body image and eating disorder recovery. She has dedicated her 30-year career to helping people unpack their body’s story and the wisdom it has to offer. She brings authenticity, curiosity, and compassion to her work and emphasizes the profound power that connection has in the healing process.

She integrates playfulness and mindfulness into her workshops, individual and group work, and is inspired by how unique the growth process is for each of us. She believes wholeheartedly that we all have the ability to find our inner alignment and has seen how her confidence in her clients translates into change. Blending together her East Coast sensibility and her West Coast spirit, Deb has developed a language and an approach that is accessible to all.
