How to Overcome Body-Shaming & Criticisms from Family & Friends

If your family criticizes your appearance and it instantly floods you with shame, this video is for you. We talk about how body shaming from parents can land as toxic shame (not “I did something wrong,” but “I am wrong”), especially in families where love feels conditional, and how to stop internalizing their projections and comparisons. You will learn two healing paths you can use in real life: Narrative Therapy to rewrite the meaning of the moment (I am safe; I do not need approval to survive), and EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) tools to calm your nervous system fast when you feel triggered. I walk you through gentle inner child re-parenting, validating the pain, finding the primary emotion and unmet need underneath the reaction, and choosing self-protection without losing your heart.
