In my private practice in San Diego, I work to provide quality services for marriage counseIing, relationship counseling, and individual psychotherapy. Oftentimes, I listen to young girls and women of all ages obsess about their weight, their appearance and their disappearing youth. I try to provide a safe holding environment as they work to relieve themselves of the social pressures to be the prettiest, the skinniest, and the sexiest version of themselves they can create. I coach them to make their life purpose revolve around less superficial and dangerous values.
As today came to a close, I had a moment to reflect upon society’s demands to value appearance over substance.
