Finding Peace with Your Body

Review

"Finding Peace with Your Body: A Body Image Guide for Women by Johanna Kulp, MSW, LCSW, is a powerful resource for anyone trying to reclaim a better body image! Her book is filled with strategies and client examples that demonstrate the layers of disrupted body image. I especially loved the chapter on trauma, the impact it leaves on one’s image and how to create physical and emotional safety to heal one’s body image. Readers will gain enormous insight into the role of self-compassion to create change, in the aftermath of a multitude of mental health struggles. I will be recommending this book to trauma survivors, supporters and clinicians who treat warriors of eating disorders, body dysmorphia and trauma!"Shari Botwin, LCSW, trauma therapist, author, media contributor and expert witness"For anyone who has ever thought their body was not good enough, this book will make you think and be at peace with your body. Writing with an engaging blend of personal narrative, case studies, psychological research and therapeutic advice, Johanna Kulp challenges everything the diet industry and diet culture has wrongly told you for years. You will long reflect on what you learn from this book."Dr. Margaret L. Andersen, professor of Sociology Emerita, University of Delaware
