Eating Disorders Awareness Week

In working with the eating disorders patients this week, my supervisor and I brought in women's magazines to have the patients cut out or tear 'healthy' and 'unhealthy' media images that they would then put into a collage together. In my experience, doing this exercise can have a way of clarifying inner issues of the body, and projecting them out onto paper. When done mindfully, this exercise can highlight ways in which we may be triggered by images.
In this era of normalized hatred of women's bodies, I want to share two youtube clips that I think everyone needs to see.
