Exposure therapy with Jessica Keogh

Hello Body!

Episode 16 of the Hello Body! podcast with your hosts, Melissa and Katy. In this episode, we talk with Jessica Keogh, founder of The Body Positive in Australia. The Body Positive is a counseling practice built on the principles of unconditional self-acceptance and body positivity. Jess is a qualified mental health and counseling professional with a degree in Psychological Science and a bachelor’s degree in Communications. The Body Positive was established to fulfill the need for body positive services in the mental health industry and Jess’s unique background in psychology, communications and mental health allows her to support clients who experience a range of emotional, interpersonal and mental health concerns. We talk with Jess about the sheer emotional toll of dieting and chasing thinness for years and how much we lose as humans when we tie our happiness to weight loss. Jess also tells us all about exposure therapy and the vital role it can play in diet and body image recovery work. And we also find out what the heck a “cossie” is.
