How long have you been trying to control your body or change your appearance? Have you ever thought about the energy spent on this control? What would you have done with this energy if you had chosen to invest it elsewhere?
If you're here, it's because you suffer from some form of body dissatisfaction, or because you work with people who do. If you're here, it's mainly because you're looking for concrete, turnkey tools.
This book is the first to offer concrete activities that take the theme of body dissatisfaction a step further, addressing issues other than weight. While weight is the most frequent feature of reported body dissatisfaction, there are many others as well, regardless of gender or age: hair loss and discoloration, cellulite, dark circles, redness or pigmentation spots, varicose veins, size, musculature, and so on. Whatever the source of your dissatisfaction, this book is for you.
Your body is not an object.
This book invites you to jump in with both feet fairly quickly, and proposes a very different path from the one you've been following for so many years.
The latest advances and research have led to some very interesting discoveries in the treatment of body image. To this end, this book offers you promising, and in some cases unusual, innovative activities. This book is integrative, which means it integrates several approaches that have demonstrated their effectiveness in the field of body image. Age advancement, sexuality, connection to nature, physical activity, self-compassion and imagery are all covered. What's more, some activities offer access to audio files. This book is off the beaten track, in the literal sense of the word, because it invites you to get moving on a regular basis!
With this book, you make the choice to take back the power, your power, so that finally your body is.
