Presented by: Christina Purkiss, LMHC, CEDS-S - Site Director, The Renfrew Center of Orlando
Held Online
Body image is a complex concept and, often, the most resistant to improvement in recovery. While treatment does provide the framework to build a better body image, continued work and maintenance are often done after treatment. Join us as Renfrew expert Christina Purkiss, LMHC, CEDS-S; Site Director at The Renfrew Center of Orlando, discusses the essentials needed to go “solo” in creating/maintaining a friendship with your body beyond treatment.
Attendees will learn how the repetition and reinforcement of negative self-talk, a powerful source of despair and body hatred, can be overtaken by “shifting the script” to the practice of gratitude, respect and self-care. In addition to exploring beauty standards and learning to redefine “beauty,” this presentation will examine the use of social media and its impact on body image.
Please note: This webinar is a re-broadcast and not a live presentation.
