Embark on a transformative journey with
Body Image Inside Out
, where your body image isn't an enemy but a guide towards greater insight and inner alignment. Created by executive coach Whitney Otto and seasoned therapist Deb Schachter, this groundbreaking "inside out" approach invites you to explore - not ignore - your body image messages.
teaches you to become more skillful at listening, interpreting and responding to your body image thoughts, so that you can develop a more constructive and connected relationship with your body. Think of it like couples therapy for you and your body image.
Weaving together Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness and Attachment Theory together, this process teaches you how to:
Understand and shift your habitual body image thoughts and behaviors.
Decode what you really want from that "fix my body" plan.
Use your jealousy as a teacher rather than a tormenter.
Identify which relationships trigger your negative body image and how to respond differently.
Prepare for bad body image days so that when they show up, you can resource and connect rather than hate and ignore.
Based on their popular BodySelf Workshop series and highlighting a diverse spectrum of client stories and bodies, each chapter features teaching, journaling prompts and innovative exercises to personalize your journey in finding a kinder, more collaborative relationship with your body image.
Through playfulness and humor, Whitney and Deb expertly guide you to explore  a new approach to body image healing, offering everyone in every body the opportunity to translate their unique body image language.
