Psychologist Explains How to Process & End Shame About Our Bodies

In this video, Dr. Rachel Goldman (a licensed psychologist and clinical assistant professor in the department of Psychiatry at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine) sits down with Oprah to discuss body image and shame - and how we can begin to process both and move to a healthier, happier place of self-acceptance.
She says, “We have to tell ourselves to focus on what is in our control. I can't control what you're going to tell me, but I can focus on how I interpret it, how I perceive it, and am I going to take it home with me or am I going to throw it in the trash and let it go?”
The moment was part of “Making the Shift,” which aired on May 9 to a live studio audience. The 3-hour program unpacks the multifaceted, preconceived notions we have about weight, from the profound impact diet culture has had on our society to how we can reframe harmful narratives surrounding our weight and our bodies. The conversation - featuring Rebel Wilson, Busy Philipps, Amber Riley, and many others - brought together individuals, communities and medical experts to bridge the science of “weight” with a new outlook that brings the health and wellbeing of our bodies into focus.

I’m in my 50’s I’ve been on and off ww quite a few times . As I’ve got older I have more confidence over my body . My mindset now is all about how I feel and how light or heavy my body feels to me …
