Summary of Thomas Cash's The Body Image Workbook

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Body image distress is when we have negative thoughts about our own bodies. It can be caused by our discomfort with our looks, or our dissatisfaction with our body’s appearance. #2 Andrew is also preoccupied with how he looks to others, and he is constantly hiding his hair loss. He is also extremely aware of strangers’ stares, and he is rarely willing to be in public places with his kids. #3 Each person’s body image is as unique as a fingerprint. You will find a series of self-tests that probe your personal body image experiences in detail. When you complete them, each scientifically developed test will provide you with a fine-tuned, informative summary of certain crucial facets of your body image. #4 The self-test lists some of your thoughts about your appearance. Simply read each thought and decide how often, if at all, it has occurred to you in your daily life during the past month. For each thought, place a checkmark in the column that indicates how often the thought has occurred.
