Krysta Kors: Media’s Impact on Body Image and Personal Development | Self-improvement Atlas #39

Welcome to another episode of Self-improvement Atlas: The Personal Science Insights Podcast! In today's session, our host, Marie Stella, delves into the intricate web of media's impact on our self-image, joined by the remarkable Melbourne based psychologist, Krysta Kors. Krysta is far from your typical psychologist; her expertise spans a wide spectrum, encompassing education, community organizations, and medical clinics. She specializes in assisting individuals grappling with various mental health challenges, such as anxiety, disordered eating, trauma, and social difficulties. In this episode, Krysta sheds light on the concept of body image—our perception of our physical appearance in relation to our self-esteem. She uncovers the significant role media representation plays in distorting these perceptions, leading individuals to chase unattainable beauty standards. Together, Marie and Krysta navigate the obstacles encountered on the journey to attain an ideal body image, exploring distinctions between self-esteem issues in teenagers and adults, and dissecting the impact of societal and cultural factors.
