Bipolar Reality

I’m currently reading a book called “My mother, my mirror” by Laura Arens Fuerstein Ph.D. It examines how women are affected by their mothers’ self-image. Fuerstein suggests that mothers can unknowingly pass on their dislikes of their bodies and their lack of self-esteem to their daughters while they are growing up. There can be an hereditary cycle of hidden negative messages.

Fuerstein shows how to recognise these and to rebuild your self-image. I’d recommend this book to any woman who has issues about her looks and who lacks confidence.
