The Body Acceptance Workbook for Teens: Break the Cycle of Obsessive Thoughts and Heal Body Dysmorphic Disorder (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781648485930)

A teen's guide to letting go of negative thoughts and obsessions about your body, and unlocking your inner confidence!

Do you worry constantly about your appearance? Do you compare yourself to the heavily filtered images of "perfection" you see on social media? Do these feelings make you feel bad about yourself, or keep you from living a full life? If so, you may have body dysmorphic disorder (BDD)--a condition marked by negative thoughts and obsessions about your body. So, how can you stop hyper-focusing on your flaws, start seeing yourself clearly, and build the confidence you need to thrive?

Written by a therapist and BDD survivor, The Body Acceptance Workbook for Teens offers empowering skills based in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure to help you overcome compulsive, body-based thoughts before they spiral into obsession. With this book, you'll learn to challenge negative beliefs, quiet your inner critic, and heal from body-focused trauma that may be driving your obsessions. If you're ready to experience a life free from body obsession, this teen-friendly guide will light the way.

Empower yourself with strategies to help you:

• Challenge unrealistic body standards
• Identify and heal body-focused trauma
• Develop a healthier relationship with social media
• Cultivate a more balanced self-image
