Summary "Chapter 1 Introduction to the Positive Body Image Workbook Welcome to the Positive Body Image Workbook! In this chapter, we offer an overview of positive body image, introduce ourselves and our work, share what inspired us to write this workbook, and describe how you may use it in your clinical practice (for clinicians1) and everyday lives (for clients and readers2). What is Positive Body Image? This workbook focuses on increasing positive body image and reducing negative body image. Right now, you may be wondering, "Won't reducing negative body image automatically improve positive body image?" In some ways, yes-but not in all ways. Negative body image includes negative feelings and thoughts about our appearance. Positive body image is broader than simply "positive feelings and thoughts about our appearance." Positive body image includes appreciating our bodies in terms of how they function along with appearance. It means loving our bodies for their unique characteristics, which may change across time (e.g., "our scars are beautiful")"-- Provided by publisher
