#128: Self-Inquiry Series: I Don’t Look Like A Runner Anymore and I Can’t Shrink Myself Fast Enough

The Appetite

Dr. Lexi Giblin, PhD and Kara Bazzi, LMFT, Opal Co-Founders, sit down with Poppy and Lily to do a self-inquiry double click on these two particular experiences of shame management. Poppy shares an encounter with shame and disgust where her response is to “mask everything and puff up” while wanting her “old body back.” A “deep, profound worthlessness” prompts an urge for Lily to work hard to be likable, meet others' expectations, and “shrink” herself, not just physically. The group does their self-inquiry job and successfully hits on some angsty edges of learning for Poppy and Lily. Connect with Opal: Thank you to our team...
