"Body Image Inside Out" is an insightful and inclusive book that tackles body image with a refreshing body-positive approach. It’s well-written, offering a thoughtful blend of tips, exercises, and reflective questions designed to help readers deeply explore their own body image. The book’s greatest strength is that it encourages readers to think critically and compassionately about their bodies. Whether you’re seeking to improve your self-esteem or simply want to better understand your body image, this book provides valuable tools and a supportive framework for personal growth.

Well-intentioned, but not quite as unique as advertised. Wordy and tiring to read. I wish there was more sensitivity to the reasons behind poor body image and less exercises to combat it.

Body Image Inside Out 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.

I have been plagued with body dysmorphia since childhood, but this book gave a unique perspective on addressing body image. It was worth the read.

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the ARC. All comments are my own.

Great book for anyone looking into deepen their body awareness and the connection between trauma, early childhood and their body image. It is chock full of journal prompts and exercises to help with this. I really enjoyed this book. It was a great reminder for me to turn to curiosity not condemnation when it comes to my own relationship with my body and my body image as well as the things that have happened to me in the past. Thank you Deb and Whitney!

A well-written, body positive, inclusive and reflective book about body image with tips, exercises and most importantly, a great goal in mind.

A fantastic account of body image from the inside of a person to the outside. The subject is often discussed as self-love and self-care, but the book explains its more than that. I enjoyed how the authors presented their research and examples. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

There is a lot of work behind the writing of this book. The science, the reflections, the exercises, everything is professional and has the capacity to help heal or at least improve body image issues. Five deserved stars.

At first, the title of this book caught my attention, and I wondered how the author came up with it. Reading the description, I was immediately swayed. This book reminds me that we all have different views and perspectives regarding our body image. It is a helpful book that makes you realize the importance of having a healthy view of yourself. It is normal to see ourselves in the mirror looking flawed and imperfect, but it is on us to think that way. It is we who should make ourselves feel perfect in our eyes. This book has great transitions, making the reader view and reflect on themselves. The exercise it gives will make the reader think deeply and rationally, which will eventually help them feel better about their body image. It helps a person like me, who feels bad looking in the mirror, to feel more worthy and appreciated for their looks.
