9 Books about Body Image + Self-Love
being kind to my body has been a THEME of my counseling sessions/life lately and it’s VERY hard for me! there are so many things swirling around the internet/media/pop culture right now about body positivity or body neutrality or just general body image things, and it can be overwhelming to know where to start, how to grow to a healthier and happier place, and even what we’re “supposed” to feel about our bodies in the first place.
i’ve got a lot of thoughts about body positivity/body neutrality/loving the skin i’m in… let’s just say the journey continues 🙃 but the more i can fill my brain with things like these books, the better! I haven’t read all of these yet, but all come highly recommended and I hope they’re helpful for you too!
