Understanding Body Augmentation w/Yom Tov Glaser

The Living in Clarity Podcast, w/Coach Ratner

Let me know your thoughts about the podcast. Thank you for listening!

Why do we etch our skin with ink or alter our bodies with piercings and surgery? Uncover the deeply rooted psychological motivations behind body augmentation, as we discuss the quest for meaning in a transient world. With special guests Robby DomeTownBlyte and Bobbitt, we peel back the layers on self-esteem's influence on these permanent decisions. Plus, get a sneak peek at my forthcoming book, "Incident Marriage: The Four Faces to a Love Relationship," where I delve into how self-worth weaves into the fabric of our intimate relationships.
Prepare to challenge your perceptions as we explore the phenomenon of pre-rejection in niche subcultures and its connection to the world of tattoos and piercings. Find out how these modifications may serve as a shield from societal judgment, and consider the health implications and cultural shifts that have reshaped our views on body art. We also touch on the spiritual implications of personal appearance through the lens of various religious teachings. Wrapping up, we express our deepest gratitude to our loyal viewers and hint at an exciting new chapter: our own content platform, where the conversation can continue, unbound and unfiltered.
