About the event

Why Your Brain Tricks You About Your Body
Have you ever wondered why you can look in the mirror one day and feel okay, but the next day see nothing but flaws? Or why scrolling through social media can instantly make you feel worse about yourself?

Turns out, there's actual science behind these experiences - and once you understand what's happening in your brain, you can start to change it.

What we will explore together:

The mirror mystery: Why your reflection can feel so unreliable (it's not just you!)
Your comparison brain: How social media affects your self-perception and practical ways to protect yourself
Rewiring techniques: Simple, research-backed methods to shift how you see yourself
Daily practices: Easy tools you can start using right away
The bigger picture: How culture and biology team up to mess with our perception
About the Workshop:

This in-person workshop at STPLN explores how our brains process body image through the lens of social influence. Through a blend of education and creative reflection, you will understand why social standards affect us so deeply and how you can develop a more compassionate relationship with your body through creative expression and mindfulness.
