I decided I’m going to attend a co-ed Body Pride workshop. (Remember when I attended an all-girls one a few months ago?)
One of the many things I’ve been discussing with my therapist over the past few months is my issue where I’m distrustful of men because some part of me believes they only view me as a sexual object.
I have no idea where I picked up this problem from, to be honest, since I’ve never had a traumatic experience that confirmed this thinking – I’ve never been dumped for not “putting out,” I’ve never been sexually assaulted, etc. Maybe it’s just a cultural thing, I don’t know.
But anyway, it occurred to me that maybe a fun way to challenge these deep-seated beliefs would be to get naked in a safe space with people of both sexes while drinking wine and talking about body image.
So, yeah… That’ll be happening sometime in the next few months, looks like. I’m really excited about it.
