Detox Your Feed, Not Your Body: Social Media and Body Image

When it comes to body image and appearance, social media skews our perspective-thanks to the volume of content we can consume on social media, it's easy for us to get used to unrealistic beauty standards that distort our body image and impact our self-esteem. You might encounter online content that promotes ways to change or "improve" your appearance, like strict exercise regimens or body cleanses. But you don't have to detox your body-instead, detox your feed.
JED Expert Rebecca Eyre, MA, LMHC, explains how you can "detox your feed" and prioritize content and creators that foster body positivity, to create a healthier relationship with social media.
