Kathryn walks us through her workbook which is designed to help women understand how much body image issues are distractions from feelings of anxiety and ambivalence about their lives. Instead, she describes how to create the capacity to unearth more deeply rooted thoughts, feelings, and sensations in our psyches and our bodies.   Bio Kathryn Holt, PhD, LCSW, is a depth psychologist and writer. She completed her PhD in Jungian\/Archetypal Studies at Pacifica Graduate Institute and has an extensive background in long-term psychotherapy, feminist psychoanalytic group therapy, community ritual, dance and movement practices, intentional psychedelic work, and more. Her latest workbook \u201cOvercoming Body Hatred: A Woman\u2019s Guide to Healing Negative Body Image & Nurturing Self-Worth Using CBT & Depth Psychology\u201d helps women identify their purpose, manage stress, change cultural messaging, and cultivate embodied presence.   What She Shares: \u2013Body preoccupation as a defense \u2013Cultural obsession with young and beauty \u2013Building capacity for ambivalence  \u2013Fostering emotional intelligence for ourselves and others \u2013Approaches to our childrens\u2019 body image issues   What You\u2019ll Hear: \u2013Writing dissertation a baby during pandemic \u2013Publishing workbook from dissertation \u2013Why Kimberly avoided body image discussions \u2013Body preoccupation functioning as a defense \u2013Issue of projection onto women\u2019s bodies and suffering \u2013Locating conditioning as inherited  \u2013Self-sensing our own bodies  \u2013Self-objectification and projection \u2013What is under the fantasy of our ideal body image? \u2013Body image work puts us into reality \u2013Culture\u2019s obsession with youth \u2013Preparing for bodies changing and age \u2013Fantasy that bodies are fixed means problems are fixed \u2013Living with body dissatisfaction and preoccupation \u2013Parenting girls and young women around body image \u2013Listening, inhabiting, and growing with body changes \u2013Defensiveness of body image decreasing intimacy with self \u2013Distinguishing between thought versus physical sensation \u2013Foundational psychological work with body image \u2013Dialectical behavioral therapy and psycho-spiritual therapy \u2013Jungian and spiritual psychology \u2013Internal versus cultural  \u2013Ending our delusions to be our full selves \u2013Increasing tolerance for anxiety to get underneath it \u2013Body ambivalence as inevitable \u2013Accepting ambivalence in all areas of life \u2013Inundated with images \u2013Defenses keep us from the solutions \u2013Fostering emotional intelligence for us and our children   Resources Website: https:\/\/www.kathryncholt.com\/ IG: @dr.kathryncholt   ","author_name":"Sex Birth Trauma with Kimberly Ann Johnson","author_url":"http:\/\/www.kimberlyannjohnson.com\/","html":"
