I have a couple of clients who are young women (high school and college age) with very low self esteem and negative body image (no diagnosable eating disorders, although I have some concerns about possible unhealthy relationships with food). I am 25F and went through a similar phase myself, but have since developed a very healthy relationship with food, exercise, and my body at this point. I am still young and a newer therapist, so I am trying to navigate this carefully. I know what has worked well and promotes a healthy mindset for myself, but I obviously don’t want to bring that up as their therapist or be giving advice. I currently am at a practice that specializes in DBT, but these clients are not in the program, although I do go through skills when it’s appropriate. Does anyone have ideas on trainings I could take or any helpful tips for how to have healthy conversations about self esteem and body image that will make an impact?
