Finding freedom from body shame

In the fifth week of Joy and the Body, Aisha Paris Smith talks all about body shame. If you've been struggling with body shame, this might help to illuminate: why feeling shame may actually be important; what shame does in our bodies and how it blocks us from experiencing joy; how shame digs deep and impacts our sense of identity; what we do when unconscious and conscious shame comes out; and how we can find freedom from it, after accepting and sitting with it.
