A 2018 study found a correlation between time spent on social media, negative body image, and disordered eating.
The reality is that so many people are carrying the weight of comparison and perfectionism fueled by endless content that’s riddled with diet culture and unrealistic beauty standards.
So, it’s time that we addressed the uncomfortable elephant in the room and asked ourselves, “Are my habits around social media supporting my mental health?”
If you answered no, today’s episode is going to help you unpack why you can’t stop doom-scrolling and comparing yourself to the highlight reels on your feed (we’ve all been there!).
We’re sitting down with Lily Thrope, LCSW, founder of Thrope Therapy LCSW PLLC, a psychotherapy practice located in Midtown Manhattan where she specializes in supporting individuals who experience eating disorders, disordered eating, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and LGBTQIA-related issues.
Listen in as she opens up about her journey to healing from an eating disorder and shares her best tips for creating practical boundaries around social media that will support your mental health and body image.

You probably peek at your body every day - whether in your mirror at home or at a quick glance in a shopping window, and it’s normal to look from time to time. But what happens when analyzing your body becomes more frequent and more stressful? This is what’s known as body checking, a behavior that’s very common for people who struggle with body dysmorphia, eating disorders, or even just disordered eating.
In today’s episode, I’m chatting about what body checking might look like in your day-to-day life. Plus, I’m digging into the factors that make us susceptible such as our brain’s wiring and the comparison trap on social media. I’m also sharing 3 tips to help you stop body checking so you can drop the shame and guilt that comes with it and make peace with your body.
