In a society where a blemish or "bad hair" can ruin an otherwise
perfect day and airbrushed abs dominate the magazine rack, many of
us feel ashamed of our bodies. If dissatisfaction with your looks
is a distressing preoccupation, this compassionate book offers a
way to break free from the mirror. Harvard psychologist Sabine
Wilhelm leads you through a step-by-step program that helps you
fight the urge to spend hours "fixing" your skin and hair, working
out, or shopping for flattering clothes. Reality-check exercises
based on cognitive-behavioral therapy demonstrate how to identify
unfounded beliefs about your appearance. Once you understand the
negative thoughts and feelings that distort your self-image, you'll
be able to shed lengthy grooming rituals and overcome the
embarrassment that keeps you from enjoying life. With Dr. Wilhelm's
expert guidance, you'll learn to replace self-doubt and insecurity
with confidence and a positive outlook. Whether you've spent
thousands on plastic surgery or avoid trips to the beach, dating,
or socializing, you owe yourself this opportunity to make peace
with your looks. If you or someone you care about is struggling
with a body image problem, effective care is finally at hand.
