Broaching body size and sizeism: Input from specialized clinicians
Broaching issues of identity and power with clients in the context of their mental health care is affirmed as an effective multicultural and social justice counseling skill by a growing evidence base. Considerations for broaching body size, including size difference and sizeism, with clients has not yet been studied, thus clinicians lack guidelines for facilitating these conversations. In this consensual qualitative research study, we present themes involved in broaching body topics based on our interviews with nine clinicians specialized in treating clients with eating disorders and body-related counseling concerns. Themes addressed counselor development, conceptualization of broaching, clinical-decision-making, practice, and impact of broaching body topics in session. Clinicians identified professional and personal developments they pursued and would advocate for training future clinicians to better serve clients. Descriptions of unique and shared aspects of broaching clients’ intersectionality and body-size specifically depict avenues for tailoring broaching conversations. Specific examples of effective and ineffective broaching conversations, including language used and psychoeducational components, provide recommendations for practice and connect to observed impacts on the client, counselor, and counseling process.
