New Expert Articles - Building on Articles from Last Week

In addition to Kelli’s new Plus workout today, we have two new Expert Articles for your reading pleasure. Both articles build on themes we raised in articles last week. We hope these mini series-type articles are helpful. 

✦ Free: Befriending Your Body - Overcoming Poor Body Image

Body image is a general term that describes how we feel about our bodies in a given cultural context. When we have poor body image, we can feel a deep and painful urgency to change our bodies - we believe we have to look a certain way to find happiness, to be worthy, or to attain valued goals. If we can learn to separate our sense of worth from how we look, we become capable of growth that truly nourishes us. Let’s take a deeper look at overcoming poor body image with a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor (and PhD).

✦ Plus: ACL Tears: Is Surgery the Right Choice?

With this foundation in mind, let’s tackle ACL tears in more detail. Learn a bit more about the severity of injuries (classification of tears), the importance of stability, and treatment/rehabilitation in this article, written by a Doctor of Physical Therapy.

As always, let us know what topics you’d like us to tackle next!
