- The Body Image Workbook: An Eight-Step Program for Learning to Like Your Looks

I didn't complete all of the exercises in this workbook but even doing the parts that I completed and reading the content, I found it very helpful. It reminded me what's really important in life (family, friends, our character, etc) and what is so less important (external appearance). Even though I had struggled with self acceptance of my appearance most of my life (being rather plain and now old!) I found myself letting go of so much of that and embracing who I am and how I can contribute in the world rather than focusing on appearance. Very good book!

While I am only halfway finished with the eight week program, I can already see a difference in how I view myself. This workbook is filled with examples, helpful worksheets, and activities to review body image history and begin to change the way you speak to yourself and view yourself. I have been using it in conjunction with a therapist and dietician (eating disorder recovery) and it works great to process my thoughts about the activities out loud.

This a a wonderful book! Written for man and women with poor body image and food obsession! Using it for a work shop I am taking

This book was pretty good, all in all. It definitely made me think a lot of my body issues. I didn’t really resolve any of them through the exercises, which was a little disappointing. But I have more of an awareness of how my mind works and how it effects my life. I think I need more time to tackle these issues.

This is a workbook... not a book to read and put aside. As a woman raised in our image conscious society i had many 'bad feelings' about my body. I can very truthfully say that after doing the exercises in the book i feel better about my appearance than i ever have. It puts a lot of things we think and fear into perspective. I still look the same, i just feel so much less apologetic and more confident about my appearance. Invest the time in doing the exercises, i think you too will see a great change in your attitude.

This is a great inclusive and gently directive workbook I use with my Psychotherapy clients. Very thorough, and covers a lot of ground- some body image issues are not written about as much as body size. Even though the book is grounded in “body”, I use this book as a supplement to my work with clients- women with hair loss, and facial differences. It’s really wonderful. Highly recommend to therapists to use as workbook with clients.

This was recommended by my therapist. I have adhd and could not even pay attention through one page.

As a therapist I find this book to be an incredibly helpful resource to use with clients. While I don’t think manualized treatments work for everyone, sometimes they do! I’ve had clients work through this book while in treatment, and sometimes I’ve just given certain worksheets. I also think it’s helpful for anyone to work through on their own if you’re not ready to seek therapeutic treatment.

I only did the first few pages of this and really didn’t work on it, but somehow it did go into my consciousness - it has reduced my BDD, I would guesstimate it’s knocked at least 10% off my worrying time. Without putting ANY effort in. So will pick it up again and do it properly. Good luck xx

Je recommande à toutes celles qui se débattent avec leur image du corps et des troubles alimentaires. Ce livre m'aide beaucoup.

Livro chegou em bom estado

My Phycologist recommended this book and all my friends are now doing it. It’s a really great book for body dysmorphia. I’m learning a lot as a parent as well, and the principles can be applied to other area of life as well.

Fantastic for Ed recovery and body image issues. Easy to work through! Used this alongside and after inpatient treatment. Would recommend to anyone who is even thinking they have body image issues
