84. Body Image Inside Out: Healing Through Curiosity, Compassion, and Connection with Deb Schachter
Welcome to Episode 84 of the Emotional Eats Podcast!
I had the pleasure of having a conversation with Deb Schachter, LICSW, a nationally recognized body image therapist and co-author of the groundbreaking book Body Image Inside Out. Deb and her co-author Whitney Otto bring a unique, transformative perspective to healing body image, which they describe as “couples therapy for you and your body image.” This conversation is packed with insights into how women can navigate their relationships with their bodies, unpack cultural and personal histories, and embrace a more compassionate, connected approach to body image healing.
During our conversation, Deb shared how her early experiences with eating disorders and recovery shaped her passion for body image therapy. She explained the “inside out” approach she and Whitney developed, emphasizing that body image is a multi-dimensional experience influenced by our histories, relationships, and cultural contexts.
We discussed how decades of societal messaging have deeply affected women’s body image and mental health, especially as they age. One of the most compelling parts of our discussion was how relationships—whether with family, society, or ourselves—shape our self-image.
Deb explained how curiosity, compassion, and mindful awareness are key tools in starting the healing process.
Make sure to listen to the end for Deb’s tips to get started on your body image healing journey.

“You have a unique and special way.”
The most significant thing that changed in my work with you was that my all consuming, soul-killing obsession with food was relieved through gentle healing and integration. I knew in my heart that you really cared about me and had my best interests at heart which helped me to re-connect with my own ability to love and support myself. When that part felt back in balance I think the food piece also re-balanced itself. Another incredible gift you offer is a super well resourced tool box! There was also plenty of deep diving into core wounding and reviewing old stories, all of which you skillfully guided me though and helped me to integrate in order to heal.
Thank you so much for everything.

“It seems so simple now!”
Kim taught me to listen to my body. I now can slow down and find out what I really need…which is not always food. I also learned it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. I struggled with dieting and then overeating. I have found a happy place where I can just be. She also taught me so much about food, reading labels and how good real food can be. Thank you.

“I felt like I could tell her anything and she would not judge me.”
My reason for hiring Kim is different as I already knew how to eat healthy and was already in great shape. I wanted to learn more about digestion and overall gut health which is super important for all aspects of life. She is amazing! Very easy to talk too and she made me feel very comfortable and I felt like I could tell her anything and she would not judge me. She is very nice and definitely very knowledgeable! She was able to help me in every way I needed and then some! Anyone who needs any form of help that she offers because she is top notch and well worth the money and time!Could not be happier with the decision I made to hire her as my coach!

“Kim is much more than a health coach. She is a tireless champion of holistic healing for those eager to initiate lasting transformation of their lives.”
I feel an enthusiasm for embracing routines and habits that encompass not only my body, but spirit and mind. Kim is a beautiful, genuine person who is intuitive and kind.
Her support and positive perspective always turn around my attitude and help me see the favorable aspect to decisions I’ve made in a non-judgemental way.
Access to this type of reassurance is perpetual and brings peace of mind. Kim is much more than a health coach. She is a tireless champion of holistic healing for those eager to initiate lasting transformation of their lives. Kim has been instrumental in bringing me home to my truest self.
