My Son, Superhero In Training
When you think about your body, what comes up first? For many people, the answer is criticism. Maybe it’s wishing your stomach looked different, comparing yourself to others on social media, or replaying an old comment someone made about your weight. This constant self-monitoring is part of what psychologists call body image, the way we think and feel about our physical selves. At Thrope Therapy, our New York–based practice, we often see how much time, energy, and self-worth get tied up in body image. The good news is that you can work toward a more compassionate, balanced relationship with your body and it doesn’t require “loving” how you look every day.
Relationships can be complicated, and for LGBTQ couples, there are unique challenges that require specialized support. LGBTQ couples can be navigating identity questions, sexual orientation, family dynamics, or societal pressures. Finding a therapist who specializes in working with LGBTQ relationships is essential to getting great care.
We believe that every client is the expert of their own story, and our role is to create a therapeutic environment where that expertise is honored and centered. Rather than imposing one definition of health or recovery, we walk alongside clients as they define what healing looks like for them. Utilizing a health at every size approach allows our clinicians to help clients connect with an understanding of health that fits their individual values.
