How are our sexual identities formed? Is it from the media that we consume like magazines and porn? And how do we go about unlearning the dysfunctional and destructive ideas around sexuality and body image? **Content Warning**: anorexia nervosa and behaviours of disordered eating is discussed in this episode.

Highlights:

  • Different people want different experiences, there is no one size fits all
  • You don’t need a diagnosis to improve your mental health
