Understanding and Overcoming Negative Body Image

So one of my fav therapists from The Center for Change wrote this article about "Understanding and Overcoming Negative Body Image." It is packed with information that you don't get in the real world. I feel SOOO very fortunate to have gone to The Center for Change and had an opposing voice working against all the negative comments we hear in media everyday that makes us believe our worth is attached to our weight. Nicole (the author of this), or Dr. Hawkins, is amazing! She herself is recovered from an ED and now runs the Body Image group at CFC and speaks all over the country to Women about Body Image. Her group was my favorite and the things I learned it that group have stuck with me and help me everyday to dismiss the LIES that try to tell me there is something wrong with my body. Click HERE to read this very helpful article. And remember my new fav quote! "You're body is not wrong, society is!"
