    The Hidden Messages We Teach Girls About Their Bodies with Suzy Charnas

    In this episode of Get Into It with Gila, I sat down with therapist Suzy Charnas for a really deep and nuanced conversation about body image, motherhood, beauty, self-worth, and the messages girls absorb growing up. Susie shared her own personal experience struggling with body dysmorphia after growing up in a very small body and how that eventually led her to specialize in disordered eating and women’s mental health in her Brooklyn private practice. We spoke about how mothers influence the way their daughters see themselves, often without even realizing it, and how the way we speak about our own bodies becomes our children’s inner voice. One line Suzy said that really stayed with me was: “The way you speak to yourself is how your child will eventually speak to themselves.”We also got into the difference between body neutrality and body positivity, social media’s impact on teen girls, food and identity, autonomy around eating, and even the relationship between beauty, Judaism, and self-care. I especially appreciated Suzy’s perspective that beauty itself is not inherently shallow or bad, but that the real question is whether appearance is taking over your sense of self-worth. This conversation felt honest, validating, and incredibly important for parents, teens, clinicians, and honestly anyone trying to heal their relationship with food, body image, and themselves. Suzy works with teens, young women, and families in Brooklyn and also brings mental health education into schools and community settings. Reach out to Suzy at Suzy@charnastherapy.com.

    Why Your “Bad” Habits Are Actually Protecting You

    In this episode, I sit down with Caryn Gutman, an Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist who works with clients in Cedarhurst and the Five Towns, both virtually and in person. We explore the fascinating overlap between therapy and nutrition work, and how compassionate, non-judgmental approaches can help people heal their relationships with food, body image, and themselves. Caryn shares her journey into the therapy world, explaining how she discovered her passion for helping others at just seventeen years old. After considering careers in law and fashion design, she ultimately pursued therapy and trained in Internal Family Systems through IFS Israel. She also brings experience from working in domestic violence and foster care before specializing in IFS. We talk about the core principles of Internal Family Systems Therapy, a model developed by Richard Schwartz, which views the mind as made up of different “parts.” Caryn explains how protective parts — like perfectionism, calorie counting, or rigid food rules — often develop to shield deeper emotional pain. Rather than fighting these parts, IFS invites curiosity, compassion, and understanding. Our conversation also touches on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and how modern trauma therapies allow people to heal without needing to repeatedly verbalize or relive painful experiences. Caryn explains how healing can happen internally, with the therapist providing a witnessing presence that supports the process. As a dietitian, I also reflect on the parallels between therapy and nutrition counseling. We discuss the importance of meeting clients where they are, avoiding black-and-white thinking around food and health, and recognizing when collaboration between therapists and dietitians can better support clients. This episode highlights how powerful it can be when professionals approach healing with curiosity, humility, and compassion rather than judgment. What Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is and how it works The role of “protector parts” in behaviors like dieting or perfectionism Why trauma healing doesn’t always require retelling painful stories The overlap between therapy and intuitive eating work The importance of staying within professional scope and collaborating across fields How compassion and curiosity can transform the healing process Caryn Gutman is an IFS therapist serving clients in Cedarhurst and the Five Towns area, offering both in-person and virtual therapy. She integrates Internal Family Systems and other trauma-informed approaches to help clients understand their internal world and move toward healing. Caryn Guttman-Weber  is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who worked in the mental health field for 13 years and in private practice for over 8 of them. She  has years of experience working with individuals, couples  and families across a variety of settings. Caryn utilizes a mixture of approaches in her practice including: IFS, Family Systems Therapy, and Attachment based therapy. She created a premarital counseling education program.  She also has experience facilitating  groups including parenting and adolescent groups. Caryn is very invested in helping pre-teens, adolescents and  adults with many issues they deal with such as: sudden changes in behavior, self-esteem , trauma, relational challenges and learning and appreciating all the parts of one’s self.  Caryn regularly attends trainings to continue her education while practicing , she  has trained at the IFS Israel institute and the Ackerman Institute for the Family. She is committed to helping individuals, families, and couples in the community face the many challenges that can arise.  If you’re ready to stop dieting and finally feel peaceful around food, I’d love to support you.

    More Than a Number: Women’s Health, Puberty, and Body Trust with Rivky Boyarsky

    With Gila Glassberg & Rivky Boyarsky In this episode, Gila speaks with Rivky, a midwife and college educator, about women’s health, body image, and education in the Orthodox Jewish community. Rivky shares her professional journey and personal experiences with weight and body image, and how cultural and generational messages shape the way women and girls relate to their bodies. They discuss the importance of practicing what we preach around health and body image, especially because children learn from parents’ behaviors more than words. Gila and Rivky emphasize the need for open, ongoing conversations about bodies, puberty, and healthy touch to reduce shame and confusion. The conversation also explores weight stigma in medical settings and challenges the idea that weight is a reliable measure of health. Rivky highlights holistic and personalized approaches to well-being that focus on nourishment, movement, and self-care rather than punishment. She also shares her work in women’s GYN care, her concierge practice in Brooklyn, and her passion for creating puberty education resources to help prevent body shame and eating disorders.
