Mirror, Mirror on the Wall…

By Robin Okun, LMSW

Making friends with the mirror can mean making friends with your body and your self.

Abby, like most of the women who visit me and my studio, is not fond of the mirror which tends to activate the inner bully. For this reason I chose to screen the mirror with beautifully colored artistic panels. I believe that part of the journey toward self love is to be able to embrace our bodies through our reflections in the mirror. While I never push this issue, I provide opportunities to make this happen. Sometimes these moments emerge spontaneously, as one did with Abby.

When Abby came to her final class to say good-bye she gave me a beautiful gift.

About Ellen Shuman

I have worked in the Wellness Field for 30 years. I created an Emotional Eating & Binge Eating Disorder Recovery Program way before most people knew BED was an eating disorder, NOT a “willpower” issue. Personally, I suffered for years before finding answers and the help I needed and deserved! I became a Coach in 1997 to help others who were still suffering as I had. I love being a Coach!
