About this listen

In a world saturated with visual media, where magazines, commercials, and the vast expanse of the internet expose us to countless images, the insidious influence of filters and photoshop perpetuates an artificial standard that eludes easy detection. Consequently, our minds unknowingly assume these images are authentic, perpetuating a destructive cycle that erodes self-worth and engulfs us in self-loathing.

The prevalence of body image issues affects as much as 50 percent of the population due to the immense societal emphasis placed on physical appearance. Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), estimated to affect between 1.4 to 2.4 percent of the global population, leaves numerous individuals undiagnosed, grappling with the distressing burden as they navigate their lives.

This audiobook is specifically crafted for those who suspect they need guidance but are uncertain about the next steps to take. Addressing a sensitive subject rarely discussed in social circles, the book aims to empower listeners to help themselves and, if necessary, seek professional assistance. It delves into the impact of the disorder on daily life and the lives of those around us, providing insights into the brain's role in contributing to the issue. By embarking on a journey of holistic living, listeners will discover the transformative power of embracing authenticity, love, and acceptance, cultivating a more fulfilling and harmonious existence.

Rather than solely fixating on external appearances, holistic healing encompasses all dimensions of life, recognizing that genuine happiness arises from the harmonious interplay of these aspects. Drawing from the author's personal experiences, listeners explore the transformative potential of self-love, self-compassion, and a sense of self-worth. By adopting a mindset rooted in love and acceptance, they learn to reside in the present moment, fostering healthier thoughts and actions that pave the way to inner peace. The book also includes valuable self-assessment questionnaires, providing listening with meaningful insights to navigate their individual journeys, gain clarity, and chart a path towards self-compassion, acceptance, and personal growth.

Authored with a heartfelt desire for listeners to embark on their inner healing process, this audiobook serves as a transformative guide to self-discovery, unlocking the power of self-compassion and acceptance in the face of life's challenges. Moreover, it serves as a gateway to mindful living and holistic healing, offering the key to unlock a life imbued with love, joy, and purpose.

The time for action is now. Stand against negative thoughts and embrace the journey of self-love and acceptance. By listening to this audiobook, you have already taken a significant step on your healing path, and I commend you for your commitment to healing and living the life you deserve. I invite you to delve into Body Dysmorphia: The Holistic Approach to Take Control of Your Obsessive Negative Thoughts, Stop Comparing, and Learn to Love Your Appearance.

Body Dysmorphia: Moving Toward Healing

This author does a fabulous job of touching on the pain points people experience when dealing with Body Dysmorphia Disorder and gives us observers a glimpse into the challenges a BDD sufferers face.  This book is especially helpful in that it provides descriptions of various therapies and exercises specifically geared toward breaking the stronghold of BDD that can be used in private to encourage baby steps forward in the journey toward healing.  I am very glad to have this resource to have helped me gain a better understanding so I can be a true support to those who have this terrible affliction.

The Importance of Body Image

This book by author Caldwell Ramsey delves into a very prevalent but under-reported health issue. It is very difficult to estimate the statistical value of prevalence because it is a broad spectrum issue, and many people suffer in silence with it. This book sheds light on the issue and exposes the phenomenon surrounding it. This is a disorder that compels many to have cosmetic surgeries one after the other and never achieve satisfaction, and others to cross borders to obtain cheaper surgical procedures that leave many maimed or dead. Very little is said about it, and almost no public exposure of it. I highly recommend this book for everyone, especially our teenage population. Even if you do not think you have any level of body image issue, it will prompt you to evaluate the way you think of yourself and take action if needed.

Supportive, Empathetic, and healing

This audiobook tackles a very important issue, body dysmorphia, in a very supportive and non-judgemental way. I had always heard the term but never really stopped and thought about how pervasive it was and all the ways it impacts my own life. This audiobook really helped me realize how we internalize things from negative thoughts, social media, and external comparisons. This is a great resource on your way to healing.

A Transformative Experience

I have always struggled with my self-image and body dysmorphia. I actually spent time in a treatment center for an eating disorder, so this audiobook was very relevant to me, and extremely helpful. I wish that I had had the opportunity to listen to it back then. The author's compassionate approach delved beyond surface-level solutions, providing a holistic guide to navigate the complexities of negative body image. The heartfelt desire for inner healing echoed throughout the narrative, creating a safe space for self-discovery. One of the highlights of this audiobook was the emphasis on self-compassion, a powerful antidote to the harsh judgments that often accompany body dysmorphia. I found the practical tools to be especially helpful in regaining control of my thoughts and restoring balance in my life. Not only is the narration exceptional, but I was delighted by the depth of insight and information the author provides. This audiobook is an invaluable companion on the journey towards healing and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a supportive and comprehensive guide to break free from destructive thought patterns and cultivate a positive and loving relationship with their bodies.

Learn to expel those bad thoughts

I've had negative thoughts all my life, and although I've had some success trying to banish them, this audiobook spoke to me. Before listening, I had not heard of BDD, and the author opened my eyes to the subject. It was the first time I could put a name on these feelings that I had bottled up. I'm happy I came across the opportunity to review this book. I was skeptical at first, but the more I listened, the calming tone of the narration and the sensible approach of the author changed my mind. If you struggle with any negative thoughts, give this book a listen. I highly recommend it.
