Shownotes Transcript

Ouch, Weirdos!

Welcome to week two of our Body Modification discussion!! Last week we took you through the history of tattoos, piercings, and plastic surgery and touched on some other, dare I say WEIRDER forms of body modification.

This week we're going a little bit deeper.  This week we are discussing the psychology behind body modification.  What is an unhealthy relationship with plastic surgery?  Why are we so unhappy with our bodies and is that a new thing?  How important is therapy when seeking major body modification?  Are tattoos actually addictive?  Can body piercings be used to deal with past trauma and abuse?  We answer all of these questions and more!  

Warning: We do get personal in this episode in discussing body image, body dysmorphia, and eating disorders.  

Please remember to love yourselves and each other!
