Women Healing and Loving Their Bodies

I have a passion for helping women to realize they are losing the opportunity for a joyous life by the tremendous criticism they reap upon their bodies. This self-hatred and body obsession is rampant.
If you don't believe this, I suggest you conduct this small "test". The next time you are out and about, time how long it is before you hear a woman say something derogatory about her body.
This is not just about weight. The perfect "10" is sometimes so obsessed about her body that she is consumed and cannot relax and enjoy life.
Women actually become paralyzed over their concerns about their body. Imagine spending 75% of your time dwelling on your body. How much time is left for LIFE?
I hope you do not underestimate the importance of this topic, because millions of women suffer and it impacts their lives in huge ways.
My burning desire is to help women re-frame how they view their body and recognize that:
1) we would not be alive without our body - it provides LIFE to us
2) Every experience we have - and ever have had - is because of our body.
As my passion is to help women feel better about themselves, I am willing to give lots of free information and organize events to assist women in this regard. My background is as a clinical psychologist.
I'd love to hear input and ideas.

Great work! It is a problem for sure. Media is starting to embrace the concept slowly. People like you are needed to give permission for people to love their bodies. I think it is not only women but a growing number of men recently.
