Welcome to the course
Rashida and Georgia break down what to expect in this course, and discuss the foundations of body confidence, different therapeutic tools, and how it’s all connected to pleasure.
EP 01: How we think about our bodies
In this episode, Rashida and Georgia examine how and why your thoughts impact body confidence. They look at the difference between 'body positivity' and 'body neutrality', cover a few key therapeutic tools, and explain how to apply them to feel more connected to your body.
EP 02: How we feel about our bodies
Our emotional experience is directly related to how confident we feel in our bodies. In this episode, Rashida and Georgia address why many people get stuck in a cycle of feeling bad about their body, and how 'body checking' can affect your sexual and non-sexual experiences. They also explore how to realign your values and feel better during sex.
EP 03: How we think and feel about our genitals
In this episode, Georgia and Rashida look at common concerns people have about their genitals, what influences misconceptions about what genitals ‘should’ look like, and how this can affect your sexual experiences. They’ll also teach you how to break the avoidance cycle, how to feel more confident being naked and more present.
Perspectives on confidence from our community
We’ve all had different experiences with body confidence, but at some point it’s really common to not feel great about your body. We invited the community and friends of Normal to share their experiences. We laughed, cried and cried-laughed filming with them - and we’re so goddamn lucky to have learnt so much from them!
