I recently sat down with Brianna Campos LPC to dig up all the nuances behind body image - what it is, what it isn't, and everything in between. Brianna (Bri) Campos LPC is a licensed mental health counselor based in New Jersey. As a body image educator and founder of Body Image With Bri, she’s passionate about all things body image and practices through the lens of Health at Every Size® and Intuitive Eating. Utilizing a weight-inclusive approach, she combines her clinical skills and lived experience to teach others how to maneuver through their own unique body image story. Bri share's how living in a larger body has impacted her body image discoveries that ultimately lead to her creating the incredibly inspiring Body Image with Bri. Our discussion includes how Bri defines body image as an archeological dig rather than a journey. Why honoring body grief is essential to healing. And how to work through the difficulties of seeing your body in photos and reflections.
