Body Awareness and Relationship with Body

Body Awareness and Relationship with Body

Practice:

Students are informed about the concepts of body perception, body awareness, and body affirmation during the high school counseling lessons, alongside the concept of beauty and how it has been turned into an instrument of oppression by the society and individuals. The impact of popular culture, social media, and commercial parties that use the concept of beauty against us is discussed. Examples are given from true stories from real people. Students are inspired to talk about their own experience if they have gone through such things. At this point, the most important acquisition in this activity would be to help student notice that the language, attitude, and behaviors that we demonstrate may have the risk of affecting the people around us negatively.
