About the event: We all feel the pressure to look a certain way. Be thin, but not too thin. Muscular, but not too muscular. Perfectly put together, but not like you tried too hard. Confident, but not too sure of yourself. And with the image-perfecting abilities of social media and AI, these pressures have only increased! Join us to learn more about the impact of unobtainable appearance ideals and how using cognitive dissonance – acting out new beliefs even before “believing” them – can help patients and clients explore a new relationship with their bodies while challenging societal ideals.
There will be time for Q&A.
Learning objectives: After participating in this session, attendees should be able to:
- Evaluate the origins of the appearance ideals and body image pressures.
- Examine cognitive dissonance-based body image programs and the theory behind them
- Incorporate specific cognitive dissonance-based approaches to decrease body image concerns and appearance ideal internalization
