What to Expect
Conversations about body image across your lifespan. Discussions will include all of the issues mentioned above, plus body positive mindset, self-compassion, negative body-talk, strategies for healing and more. All of this under the watchful guidance and support of Dr. Pietrucha’s compassionate, skilled, and experienced eye.
This is a series for participants of all ages. You will have the open opportunity to bring up and discuss the body image issues closest to your heart, and perhaps for the first time, find confirmation and validation for your feelings and experiences, to discover that you are not alone, and to address the guilt, shame, perhaps self-loathing, and isolation that you have experienced as the result of your body image.

“Reflecting on my childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, I recognize the complex interplay between my body, food, and self-perception. Early awareness of my body was influenced by familial attitudes towards food and subtle societal messages. Negative experiences with doctors and peers, alongside participation in physical activity, shaped my relationship with my body and food. Adolescence brought heightened self-consciousness, impacted by societal standards and dating relationships. Now, as an adult, my perception of my body is nuanced, with moments of acceptance and struggle, intertwined with feelings of self-worth. This exercise has prompted a deeper understanding of these dynamics and a commitment to cultivating self-compassion, challenging negative thoughts, and practicing mindful eating habits to foster a healthier relationship with my body and food.”
