Our world is saturated with distorted ideals of beauty, and so many of us have grappled with feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt at some point in our lives. So, this week on Self-Improvement Atlas: The Personal Science Insights Podcast, host Marie Stella is joined by psychologist Dominique Mulhane to discuss what self-acceptance can do for positive body image.

With an interest in eating disorders, weight management and body image issues, Dominique Mulhane is a general psychologist and eating disorder clinician who works with adult clients who experience a range of eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image concerns.

In this episode, Dominique Mulhane first highlights the distinction between positive and negative body image. She then shares the fundamentals of instilling positive body image, and discusses the role of self-acceptance on this journey.

Together, Marie and Dominique Mulhane chat about the various therapeutic approaches that have been known to be effective in developing self-acceptance. So, tune in today for a reinvigorating discussion about reclaiming ownership of self-worth, unrealistic standards set by society, and so much more, with insights from a distinguished expert.
