But you don’t have to live your life consumed by feelings of shame and self-hatred. This workbook offers a way out of the darkness.Grounded in evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and depth psychology, this workbook offers a two-pronged approach for healing from negative body image, so you can literally feel more comfortable in your own skin.
