Do conversations about our appearance do us more harm than good?

Diedrichs, Phillippa C

In this article, Research Health Psychologist and Senior Research Fellow Phillippa Diedrichs explores where these issues stem from and why reducing 'fat talk', 'old talk' and 'body talk' could be a useful way to improve body image
