We've all had those bad days when we feel like nothing fits, when we despair, if only I was skinnier here, if only I was flatter there. We try to brush them aside and forget about them to get thorough the day. But what if our negative body thoughts are not to be ignored but listened to and translated When seen through The BodySelf lens, our body image thoughts can lead to more, not less, connection with ourselves. With curiosity and compassion, this book will help you decode your negative thoughts about your body and provide actionable and empowering steps towards a more constructive and connected relationship with your body.

Centered around vignettes of real clients, Body Image Inside Out shows you how to completely flip your mindset on your body. Our bodies and our feelings about them are completely unique to every person, so every chapter features journaling prompts and exercises to personalize your journey in finding comfort in and strength within your body.
