    What do you think therapy is? ⭐️ Therapy isn’t just talking about your feelings (although, we DO talk about your feelings!). ⭐️ Therapy can help you to identify feelings, thoughts, emotions and beliefs that you may not have even been aware that you carry. ⭐️ Therapy can help you to make sense of behaviours and actions that do not serve you. ⭐️ Therapy sessions can be about learning and practising coping strategies. ⭐️ You may get tasks and work to do in between sessions, it’s not a passive process. What do you think about therapy, have you ever dismissed it as *just* talking about your feelings?! . . . . . . . . #psychotherapythoughts #lateraltemporalbrowlift #liposuctionjourney #ukcosmeticsurgeon #morethanplasticsurgery #cosmeticsurgerysupport #ukpsychotherapy #therapyforbodyimage #mentalhealthassessments #bodyimagetherapists #cosmeticsurgeryassessment #surgicalassessment #bodyimagespecialists #cosmeticsurgeryprocedures #bodyimageawareness #goodbodyimage #healthybodyimage #bodyimageissues #bodyimagemovement #bodyimagehealing #bodyimage #mentalhealthmatters #depressionsupport #positivebodyimage #mentalhealthadvocate
    We have probably all gotten used to having meeting We have probably all gotten used to having meetings and work conversations over Zoom or Teams in the last few years. But is looking at our own face for hours every week having a detrimental effect on how we feel about our appearance? A recent Oxford University medical journal has reported a 55% increase in face and neck cosmetic surgery in men and women since the beginning of 2020. Surgeons have termed this the 'Zoom effect'; a result of workers spending increasing amounts of time looking at their own faces and features while working online. There has been a particular increase in men seeking treatment to alter their jawline and make it more 'chiselled' with strong, clear bone structure. Have you noticed yourself becoming more critical of your face and appearance in the last few years as you have spent a lot of time working online and on camera? . . . . . . . . #malecosmeticsurgery #facialcosmeticsurgery #revisionrhinoplasty #plasticsurgeon #blepharoplasty #rhinoplastyspecialist #rhinoplastyexpert #rhinoplastyrecovery #blepharoplastysurgeon #abdominoplasty #abdominoplastyjourney #fatgrafting #breastimplant #bodycontouring #liposculpture #cosmetictreatments #nosejob #facialfillers #medicalaesthetics #bodyimageawareness #goodbodyimage #healthybodyimage #bodyimageissues #bodyimagemovement #bodyimagehealing #bodyimage
    Completely cutting out the type of food that you o Completely cutting out the type of food that you ordinarily binge on is not going to work. Much like diets, when we tell our brain that we are cutting out a particular food, it can begin to consume our thoughts. For binge eaters, at some point, that pressure to eat the forbidden food will become too much. A better approach would be not to tell yourself that certain foods are 'good' or 'bad' and that some are off-limits. Binge-eating isn't about the particular food, it is a response to emotion, and it's this deeper root cause that needs to be addressed. . . . . . . . . . #eatingdisorderhelp #eatingdisordertherapist #eatingdisorderrecover #eatingdisorderecovery #eatingdisordertreatment #eatingdisordersupport #eatingdisorder #eatingdisorderrecovery #anorexiahelp #anorexiaawareness #anorexianervosarecovery #bulimiawarrior #bulimiarecoveryjourney #bulimiahelp #bulimiarecovery #edawareness #stigmafree #edsoldiers #beatingbingeeating #bingeatingdisorder #bingeeatingrecoveryjourney #bingeeatinghelp #edfighter #bodyimage
