Description
Do you strive to have the perfect body, the perfect relationship, the perfect diet and wardrobe, the perfect job, and the perfect life? If so, you are far from alone. Isn't it time we say, enough?
In this groundbreaking book, clinical psychologist Paula Freedman offers a clear path to help you move beyond toxic striving and instead turn inward for guidance. Using a combination of evidence-based tools and strategies grounded in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and intuitive eating, you'll gain the insight needed to reconnect with your true values, reclaim your physical and mental health, develop unwavering self-compassion and confidence, and live by your own rules. You'll also find profound and practical guidance to:
- Identify how and when you stopped trusting your own mind, body, and emotions
- Set goals that align with your personal values-instead of society's expectations
- Develop skills to defuse from restrictive and self-punishing thoughts, so you can be kinder to yourself
If you're exhausted from the daily grind and fed up with feeling like you aren't enough-it's time to look within yourself. From now on, you are the expert on you.
Advance Praise
“In a personal, practical, and deeply empowering way, Freedman-Diamond helps readers identify the sneaky, quiet ways toxic striving has infiltrated our lives and stolen our joy and power. As she writes, ‘This book won’t give you answers; it will help you discover your own answers.’ She accomplishes her end goal of helping readers find ourselves in the midst of toxic messaging begging us to abandon ourselves in favor of perfection.” —Lexie Kite, PhD, coauthor of More Than a Body
