Episode 41, Part 2: Marla Mervis-Hartmann talks about creating Love Your Body Love Yourself, and offers thoughts on the road to recovery
In the second part of this episode, Marla Mervis-Hartmann — founder and creator of the “Love Your Body Love Yourself” speaking series, workshops, and coaching programs — shares how she helps clients through their journeys to learning to love their bodies. She looks beyond low self-esteem to dig deep with clients, helping them tap into their fears, childhood experiences and traumas, and their deep-seated feelings about themselves.
She also addresses the ways in which people feel pressure from social media and other cultural influences and use those influences to justify disordered behaviors. At the end of the conversation, Marla provides guidance for people who are struggling to find a way out of body hatred and unsustainable behaviors.
