"You Can't Judge a Body By Its Cover" - Body Image, Shame and Sexism

with David Bedrick, Ph.D.

David will talk about body shame, sexism and hunger - from his new book, "You Can't Judge a Body by Its Cover."

Fifteen years in the making,   David will talk about the approach he created and is using to completely transform how women (and clinicians) look at and experience challenges with body size, food, restriction and hunger. The seminar will explore the ways sexism and capitalism inform every woman’s relationship with their body, the dieting industry and self identity. 

What if your hunger—that force that beckons you to the ice cream aisle, and guides your hands to take seconds when you didn’t even feel like having firsts—was the misunderstood sage of your body, rattling its cage inside the fortress of your soul?
 
What if your resistance to dieting were actually a message of self-love?
 
What if your body size and shape also held intelligence and protection? 
 
More about the book, “You Can’t Judge A Body By Its Cover“.
