A fun CBT approach to promote positive body image in young people
Kate Collins-Donnelly has worked as a therapist, psychologist, criminologist and anger management consultant based in the UK for many years. She presently runs a successful independent consultancy practice which provides cognitive behavioural therapy, counselling, coaching and training, and is head of the Psychological and Criminological Research Division. She is the author of Starving the Anger Gremlin, Starving the Anxiety Gremlin, Starving the Stress Gremlin and Banish Your Self-Esteem Thief.
The book is full of case studies and exercises... The book is aimed
at boys and girls aged 10-18, though I think it could be used by
slightly younger children (perhaps 8+) with support and guidance.
It starts off by helping young people to understand what body image
is and why it's important before considering negative body image
and the impact a negative body image can have... The activities and
case studies are all presented in an accessible and friendly style.
The book is beautifully presented and I can imagine a young person
being very motivated to complete the activities. Whilst it is
designed as a self-help guide to be completed sequentially from
beginning to end, I think there is plenty of scope for confident
parents and practitioners to cherry pick relevant activities or
sections where time is short or where there is need for a rapid and
specific focus... therapists, school counsellors, pastoral staff
and parents may find that it is a useful addition to the recovery
toolbox.

Katie uses her expert knowledge to help children develop a positive
self- image... This book offers useful self-help activities to
banish negative thoughts about your body. As a wellbeing mentor, I
have found this book to be extraordinarily helpful; it has been
used with some of my clients and I have started to recommend it to
parents. An invaluable book, all young people should read.
