Your Brain on Beauty Standards: The Psychology Behind Our Evolving Aesthetics with Jennifer Cox
Listen now
Description
Have our brains undergone more transformation than our faces? Today, I'm joined by powerhouse psychotherapist and author, Jennifer Cox, to explore the fascinating intersection of aesthetics and psychology. From the rise of the 'Annabels Face' - a new aesthetic tribalism where conformity trumps individuality, to facial dysmorphia and the pressure on men to keep their hair (but only in the right places) have our plastic minds been so #influenced that it's changed the landscape of our faces forever?  We discuss the profound influence of social media on beauty standards and question the Aesthetic Industry’s role and responsibility. Can we challenge this new wave of judgmentalism without overstepping ethical boundaries? Is it time to champion and celebrate our unique features once again?  About Our Guest: The brilliant Jennifer Cox is a leading psycotherapist, co-host of the ‘Women Are Mad’ podcast with actress and writer Salima Saxton and has just released her first book ‘Women Are Angry’ (available at all booksellers).  Hosted on Acast.
