464-The Oscillation of Body Image: Why Healing Is a Spiral, Not a Straight Line

Bad body image days aren't failures. They're the mechanism. Stephanie teaches the healing spiral and why oscillation is how real body image work actually moves forward.

In this Coach Corner episode, I teach two concepts that created a light bulb moment inside the first session of The Groundwork: the oscillation of body image and the healing spiral. These are not abstract ideas. They are the reframe that changes how you coach, and how you live in your own body.

What you'll learn in this episode:

Why healing is a spiral, not a straight line, and what that actually looks like in practice
What oscillation means and why the hard moments are the most healing phases of the journey
How to coach clients through "setbacks" with curiosity instead of judgment
Why bad body image days are a skill-building opportunity, not evidence that something went wrong
The onion layer your clients don't expect: why body image work always leads to self-worth
