Скачать или смотреть Why Filters Can Distort Self-Image and What Trauma-Informed Therapy Can Actually Help With

Social media filters don’t just change how we look they can quietly change how the brain learns to recognize the self.

In this video, we take a psychology-informed, trauma-informed look at why filters can distort self-image, sometimes leading to shame, anxiety, or body image distress often referred to as Snapchat dysmorphia.

Drawing from credible, peer-reviewed research and guidance from organizations like the American Psychological Association (APA), this video explains:

• Why repeated exposure to filtered images can feel emotionally “real”
• How self-image distress is often stored in the nervous system, not just thoughts
• What trauma-informed therapy can help with — and what it cannot
• What current research shows about EMDR and Brainspotting as part of a recovery process
• Why these approaches are not standalone solutions and must be provided by licensed clinicians
• How to find credible, licensed mental health support in your state

This is an educational discussion, not therapy or treatment advice. The goal is to provide accurate information, manage expectations, and help viewers understand what evidence-based support can look like.

If social media or self-image concerns are impacting your mental health, working with a licensed mental health professional trained in trauma-informed care can make a meaningful difference.
