Using the Listening Guide, a qualitative method of analysis, themes were identified in the interviews of 10 participants, representing 5 mother-daughter dyads in which the daughters were young adult women with healthy body images. Results suggest that mothers supported their daughters in nonappearance domains, while also celebrating their daughters’ beauty, through relational safety and connection. Spirituality is also discussed as it relates to the development of healthy embodiment.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Canadian Journal of Counselling and Psychotherapy}, author={McBride, Hillary L. and Kwee, Janelle L. and Buchanan, Marla J.}, year={2017}, month={May} }
