still working on it but some things that have helped me a lot are to treat myself the way i would treat someone i care about. and just taking care of myself in ways that would make me feel good about myself.

Therapy tbh talking it through is the way to go can’t keep things bottled up

Truly, for me, I’m overweight and am insecure abt that and am working on fixing it. Other things that you can’t fit, look at models with those features. People love those models and think they are beautiful because of them so why shouldn’t you? Yk

You’re the only one who gets to look like you, so u might as well appreciate it and make the most of it. Also when you like the person that you are u have more reason to compliment yourself and be nice to yourself 👌🏻

I’m more looking for woman to woman advice on this or anyone else who has dealt with deep insecurities, how to acquire self love and esteem, etc . Also I’m not sure if u meant it like this but this could come off as pretty pervy and opportunisticly taking advantage of someone with low self esteem for your personal gain 😬 just to give u a heads up incase u didn’t mean it like that

You’ll just have to say what exactly you’re feeling insecure about

if you can’t do it in person try writing your therapist a letter/e-mail/text or ask them to turn around or if you can turn around and then tell them that way
