Ask Alice: Gospel Hope for Body Dysmorphia and Gender Dysphoria

Episode Summary

In this episode, host Alice Churnock discusses two important struggles which many teenagers encounter. The first is body dysmorphia, in which a person can't stop obsessing about a perceived flaw in his/her appearance. The second is gender dysphoria: the anxiety that besets a person who perceives a conflict between his/her inner-identity and his/her biological sex. Alice explains how parents can walk alongside of teenagers who struggle with these sensations. Above all, she reminds listeners of the hope of the gospel - a source of supernatural transformation that impacts the whole person, not merely outer appearance.
