Body Image: How Parents and Partners Shape the Self

Body Image: How Parents and Partners Shape the Self with Health Expert, Stephen Fraser.

How do our closest relationships shape the way we see our bodies? This talk explores new research into gym goers and reveals surprising connections between body image, romantic attachment, and family support. Drawing on psychological theory and fresh data, health expert and psychology graduate, Stephen Fraser uncovers why some people are more prone to body worries while others appear more resilient, and how the bonds we form with partners and family can influence how we feel about ourselves.

Whether you are curious about the psychology of the gym, interested in body image and wellbeing, or simply fascinated by how relationships affect our self-perception, this talk will challenge assumptions and spark new questions.
