"Loving the Person in the Mirror"


As a therapist for over 10 years treating musculoskeletal conditions (arthritis, back pain, tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, etc.), Sue Crossen has always joked that she’s a therapist from the neck down. But what the last decade has proven to her is that most people hurt due to the neck up. Sue will explain how non-loving thoughts not only wreak havoc with our bodies, but our lives in general…including our comfort in front of audiences. And, Sue will show you some techniques to love the person in the mirror.

"What is Your image?"

 

"What is your true image of yourself? Tonight I am going to offend some of you by telling you that you are more beautiful then you realize. You'll cringe at the idea that you might actually be loved by somebody out there. You will cower at the fact, dare I say it! that you might not be the monsters you think you are! Oh my God No!! The humanity of it all!! You can change your image from the inside...It's image makeover time!!"
