Life By Design Therapy

  Most body image advice focuses on mindset, but your thoughts aren’t the whole story. Did you know that body image isn’t just about how you see yourself but rather about how safe you feel being yourself. In your body, in your skin, and in the world. If your nervous system doesn’t feel safe, no amount of mirror work or mantras can override that. You don’t need more confidence and you don’t need to fix your body. 💚 You need to feel at home in it. This is where Somatic and Holistic Therapy can be supportive. It helps you rebuild safety, gently, from the inside out. 📍At Life By Design Therapy ™, we help you do just that. With nervous system-informed therapy that honors your whole self. 💻 Ready to reconnect with your body in a way that actually feels good?

  I didn’t feel sad… I just felt off. Numb. Disconnected. If you’ve ever said something like this, I get it… and, honestly, it might be more than just a rough patch. Depression doesn’t always look the way we expect. Sometimes it’s not tears or breakdowns, it’s the quiet heaviness that sneaks into your days. The brain fog. The exhaustion. The feeling that you’re just… not you. 💡 Depression can show up as: ✔️ Feeling flat, numb, or stuck ✔️ Losing interest in things you used to enjoy ✔️ Exhaustion that doesn’t go away with rest ✔️ Disconnection from your body or emotions If this sounds familiar, know that there’s nothing wrong with you and support is available. Somatic and holistic therapy can help you reconnect with your body and begin to feel like yourself again. At Life By Design Therapy we have a team who specializes in creating safety for nervous system regulation, trauma healing, and body-based tools. 🌿 You don’t have to “hit rock bottom” to take the first step.

  When you're low, routines can feel like pressure. And if you're navigating depression, even basic structure might feel out of reach. But I want you to know that you're not lazy and you're not failing. Your body is in a survival state, and it makes sense that the usual productivity advice just doesn’t land right now. ✨ This is where rhythms come in. Rhythms are gentler than routines. They don’t demand, they invite. They’re not about performance, they’re about presence. Here’s the difference: 🧠 Routines say: “Stick to this plan or you’ve messed up.” 🫀 Rhythms say: “Let’s try this one small thing… again and again, in your own time.” 💡 Why rhythms work: Your nervous system thrives on predictable , body-based signals of safety . Simple things like drinking water before coffee, opening a window, or lighting a candle at the same time each night… They tell your body: “You’re safe now. You can settle.” 🌿 Here are a few more gentle rhythm ideas to try: ✨ Opening a window ...

  You tug at your clothes, cross your arms, shift your posture. You find anything to distract others from the parts of yourself you can’t stop criticizing. And it doesn’t just happen in the mirror. It follows you into photos, into conversations, even into the way you carry yourself through a crowded room. Even when others don’t notice, your mind zooms in on the details like your hips, which you think are too wide, arms that don’t look toned enough, or skin that never seems smooth enough. This isn’t just about confidence, it isn’t vanity… Read More https://www.lifebydesigntherapy.com/blog/heal-your-body-image-with-these-body-based-tools
