Psychologist Dr Linda Papadopoulos has been looking into the cognitive impact of self-perception for many years, and so in this episode, we put your questions on body image directly to her, and discuss some of the challenges that are unique to midlife when it comes to accepting how we look. Gabby and Linda talk about how confidence can impact so many things, and why it’s important we manage the way we speak to ourselves - the only thing we can truly control!
They also discuss the impact that social media can have on how we feel about ourselves, and ways to build digital resilience and protect ourselves - and our loved ones - online. Linda shares a little about what she has discovered from studying psychodermatology over the last two decades, and explains how our thoughts have a tangible impact on our bodies, especially when it comes to our skin.
