Episode 39. Body Image, Shame and Feeling Good In the Skin You're In (Part 2).

Body Image, Shame, and Feeling Good in the Skin You’re In

Body image struggles are not about vanity — they are about safety, belonging, and the stories we learn to tell ourselves about our worth. 

In this bitesize 20 minute episode, clinical psychologist Dr Laura Williams explores the emotional and psychological roots of body image, how shame becomes intertwined with how we see ourselves, and what it can actually mean to feel more at ease in the skin you’re in — without pressure to love or fix your body.

This is a compassionate, psychology-led conversation about understanding your body image rather than fighting it, and about creating safety and self-respect from the inside out. 

You’ll hear: 

• Why body image is rarely about appearance alone
• How shame shapes our relationship with our bodies
• Why self-criticism doesn’t lead to change
• Gentle, realistic ways to feel more settled in your body

Holding you in mind,

Dr Laura
