Love Myself Slim: Learning to Love Yourself and Lose Weight Jonathan Whines

In this compelling book experienced psychotherapist Jonathan Whines argues that understanding the psychology of over-eating is crucial for a healthy relationship with food, especially when dieting. He suggests that the absence of real love and support for the self often leads to problems with assertion and boundary-making. The anxiety and anger created by these feelings can often lead to compulsive over-eating. This highly practical book offers a wealth of exercises to support a better relationship with food. It suggests numerous ways to compassionately develop self-esteem, assertion and increased expressivity. The book will also be useful as a resource for counsellors and therapists seeking for creative ways to work with clients. The book offers a link to free mp3 meditations to help develop a mindful approach to food and life.
