Body Grief Method
The 5 stages of grief are commonly known, so in this episode i’m going to discuss how this relates to my Body Grief Method. Body grief is the loss or losses accompanied by the conscious choice to stop attempting to change one’s body size. Moving through the 5 stages of grief is much the same: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. The acceptance stage doesn’t mean loving every curve and dimple, it just means the absence of distress. Peace requires discomfort. We know peace because we know discomfort. The steps of the Body Grief Method: Building awareness around how we talk to ourselves, how we talk about our bodies, and how we interpret the world of bodies. Active unlearning, which requires us in the moment to choose differently. Over time, the wound of grief still exists, but it’s more familiar. Everything takes time. In community, you don’t have to feel alone. Check out my resources, course, and membership community “The Body Grievers Club” at https://bodyimagewithbri.com/ A Podcast Launch Bestie production
