How Clothes Can Support Body Image

Reclaim You with Reclaim Therapy

Who among us hasn't experienced the frustration of inconsistent clothing sizes or the pressure to fit into a certain size?
If you've ever felt defined by the number on your clothing tag, this episode is for you.
We share our personal journeys in navigating the challenging terrain of body acceptance and fashion trends, discussing how our relationships with clothing have evolved over time. From the personal challenges of clothing shopping, to our experiences with anxiety and shame tied to clothing sizes. We'll dive deep into the complex relationship between clothing and body image, and how it can serve as a powerful tool for self-expression and even provide a sense of security and belonging.
In the second part of our discussion, we disrupt the traditional narrative around clothing sizes and body worth. We've been able to redefine the meaning of clothing sizes for ourselves and we share the wisdom we've gained during this process.
Hear our insights on finding comfort in clothing, identifying, and addressing the underlying beliefs causing anxiety and shame related to clothing. We also talk about the importance of supporting influencers challenging the arbitrary sizing system, and debunk the notion that our value is determined by the numbers on a clothing tag.
Join us on this empowering journey, because you are more than a size!
