This week on the pod Laura’s chatting to Dr Amy Slater, body image researcher at University of West England.
In this episode they discuss:
✨ Thin ideal internalisation + its physical and psychological consequences
✨ How social media holds certain body types up as the ideal + can leave us feeling dissatisfied
✨ The fact that labelling images as digitally altered is not actually helpful in reducing comparison + dissatisfaction and can actually backfire
✨ How advertising in traditional media + social media can impact body image
✨ That even positive feedback about appearance impacts negatively on our body image
✨ What social comparison is + how this has changed with social media
✨ The consequences of viewing fitspiration + self-objectification on Instagram
✨ How we can curate a social media feed that's supportive of positive body image
