Body Image and Self-Esteem - Live Online (3 CE)

In a culture bombarded by images of youth and beauty, many feel the pressure to live up to this ideal. The impact on self-esteem can be potentially devastating. In this 3-hour Live Online workshop, we will explore how culture affects our personal views of beauty, the clinical implication of poor body image and the true source of self-esteem. In addition, we will identify specific methods to develop healthy self-esteem, including not only improving body image, but improving all the facets of a healthy self-image.

1. Recognize how the media can impact clients’ self-image, specifically as it relates to youth and beauty.

3. Identify specific clinical concerns associated with clients’ dealing with poor body image.
