Body Image Messages

Your body image is how you think and feel about your body. Throughout life, you’ve likely received many messages that affect your body image. Some are loud and clear, like a thoughtful compliment or a rude joke. Others are subtle, like seeing all your friends wearing the same jeans.

It’s easy to take in these messages without pausing to evaluate them. However, taking time to reflect on these messages allows you to see whether they’re helpful or harmful.

Our Body Image Messages worksheet asks clients to write the most impactful body image messages they’ve received and consider how the messages affect their body image. They will consider messages from media, friends and peers, family, and any other relevant group.

This worksheet can illuminate messages that clients have internalized without even realizing they’ve done so. Reinforce the positive messages and empower clients to challenge the negative ones.
