Topics
Mel Robbins: 我认为现代社会让我们过度关注自身外貌，这与人类天性相悖。我们不断地在社交媒体、视频会议中看到自己，导致我们不断地审视和批评自己，这让人感到疲惫。我们需要停止挑剔自己，学会更友善、更富有同情心，更自信地看待和庆祝自己独特的美丽。我希望通过今天的讨论，帮助大家理解身体形象问题，并找到自我接纳的方法。 Dr. Ashwini Nadkarni: 负面身体形象源于我们对自己的真实形象与理想形象之间的差异。这种差异受到性别、年龄、种族、文化以及社会价值观的影响。孩子们通过家庭、同伴和媒体接触到理想化的身体形象概念，从而加剧了这种差异。我们需要认识到这种差异的存在，并挑战那些不切实际的理想化标准。 Dr. Judith Joseph: 我认为人类天生就不应该经常看到自己身外的形象。我们的眼睛和大脑是为了观察他人、判断他们的行为并获得反馈而设计的，而不是为了观察自己。现代社会让我们不断地看到自己，导致我们不断地评判自己，这与我们的天性相悖。我们需要停止这种不自然的自我评判，学会接纳自己的本来面目。

If you’re tired of picking apart your appearance, hiding your body, or never feeling good enough, this episode is for you. 

Today, you’ll learn the 4 simple steps you can take to build lasting confidence and finally feel good in your body. 

This powerful episode was inspired by a raw and emotional conversation Mel had with viral comedian Jake Shane. 

When Jake admitted he hates how he looks and struggles with self-worth, it opened the door to a bigger truth: millions of people feel the exact same way—but don’t know what to do about it. 

So, Mel called in the experts. In this episode, you’ll hear from Mel and Jake and learn tools from two renowned psychiatrists: 

-Dr. Judith Joseph, MD, double board-certified psychiatrist, professor at Columbia and NYU Medical Schools, and author of the bestselling book High Functioning. 

-Dr. Ashwini Nadkarni, MD, Harvard Medical School professor and psychiatrist at Mass General Brigham who specializes in anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and depression. 

Together, they break down the surprising psychology behind body shame and give you a practical, proven roadmap to feeling better, starting now. 

You’ll learn how to: 

  • Break free from body shame, obsession, and constant comparison
  • Rewire your brain for confidence and lasting self-acceptance
  • Use 4 science-backed steps to heal how you see yourself
  • Understand the hidden psychology behind body image and self-talk
  • Unpack the shocking research on how screens and modern life are distorting your self-image (and how to fix it)

This isn’t just a conversation. It’s your roadmap to healing, backed by science.  

After listening you will have the tools, the science, and the mindset shift you need to stop hiding—and start seeing yourself clearly. 

Because when you change how you see yourself, you change everything.
