Psychotherapy; Eating disorders & therapy

Finding Peace with Your Body weaves together the author’s personal story as well as her work as a psychotherapist to create an interactive self-help guidebook to help readers find harmony with their bodies. This is an interactive book with a fresh perspective that encourages the reader to dive deeper into their own personal history and use this book as a place to journal and complete specific homework instructions to change their relationship with their body. This book includes personal anecdotes, theoretical orientation and specific clinical intervention in a way that helps the reader understand context, personal experience and the ability to create direct behavioral and cognitive change in their life. The journey map includes not only reflective prompts but also weaves in historical context regarding the subjugation of women’s bodies throughout time. Organized so that it can be used by individuals or practitioners assisting their clients along the journey of recovery from an eating disorder, this book offers readers hope, practical tools and a road map for working through specific body image issues with practical skills and therapeutic interventions.

Reviews for Finding Peace with Your Body: A Body Image Guide for Women

""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
