Coping with Body Image Distress: Somatic, Self-Compassion & CBT Tools

Give your clients a realistic, step-by-step toolkit to use when they are navigating difficult body image days.

When a client is in the middle of a body image spiral, forcing "body positivity" or trying to love their reflection can feel completely out of reach. Instead of pushing for immediate self-love, this worksheet meets them where they are by focusing on body neutrality and basic care: you don't have to love your body to treat it with kindness and respect.

This 1-page handout serves as a practical coping menu. It breaks down evidence-based strategies into an easy-to-read checklist format, allowing clients to quickly choose a tool that matches their energy level when they are feeling overwhelmed. It is an approachable resource that prints perfectly on a single page, making it a convenient tool to review in-session, laminate for a client to keep on hand, or use as a concrete out-of-session reference.
