Steve: If you dont mind.
Woman: No. It just had to do with body image.
Steve: Body image. OK. Now, is that a standard that you want to meet? Is that a standard that you want to have for yourself?
Woman: It is... OK, how can I say this? ... I do, but not with that persons criteria?
Steve: Fine. So you want to have your own criteria for body image. (Woman: Umhm.) So in terms of this specific situation, you are essentially saying their standards, given their criteria, are not something you want to have for yourself, is that correct? (Woman: Right.) Great. Now, at this point, take a moment to consider what are your standards and criteria. You may have thought of this already, and it may be just a matter of accessing it and just briefly thinking about it. What standards do you want to meet? (Woman: OK.) Given that this happened in childhood, its possible that this may never occur again but just in case—
Woman: This one was about like as a teenager.
Steve: Teenager. (Woman: Yeah.) OK, now given that that happened so long ago, it may be that nothing like this will ever happen again. But if it were to happen again, or anything similar to it, we would want you to be prepared. Given that those other people have this different standard than you have, how do you want to respond to them? Is it enough to just know that you have a different set of standards, and that you can now say, Up yours, or something like that inside—or outside if you want to? But whatever response you want to have in that situation, just think about that and think about that if that should ever happen again, that in this situation thats what you would be satisfied doing. (Woman: OK.) OK. And that looks pretty good. Any parts object to any—
Woman: No!
