"Longtime body image coach Jessi Kneeland has worked with hundreds of clients struggling with body obsession, anxiety, and hatred. Determined to ease their pain, Kneeland created a revolutionary method to neutralize body image distress by illuminating and addressing the underlying, hidden causes of suffering. Now, in their groundbreaking Body Neutral, Kneeland shares this radical system, inviting readers to identify themselves among four body image "avatars," or types, each one representing a different underlying cause: the self-objectifier, the high achiever, the outsider, and the runner. Kneeland then uses the avatars to guide readers through a step-by-step process for accepting their bodies and their innate worthiness as people."--Page 4 of cover
