Weight issues are often a result of unhealthy patterns of behavior and a negative self image. Michaels teaches the Service to Self process, which focuses on reprogramming and healing old patterns of behavior to create a positive, lasting change in self-image.
Most weight "loss" programs focus on overeating and lack of exercise; very few of them address the underlying reason for weight issues. Weight issues are a result of unhealthy patterns of behavior and a negative self image.
The Service to Self process, taught in this book, focuses on reprogramming and healing old patterns of behavior to create a positive, lasting change, in self image - weight "release" is a natural byproduct of this process.
In my 30 years counseling clients, I have come to realize that every client who struggles with weight is really struggling with unresolved issues. This book does a remarkable job of guiding the reader through the sometimes complex maze of beliefs, fears, needs and emotions to get to the underlying cause of weight problems. - Joyce Nelson Patenaude Ph. D., author of Too Tired to Keep Running, Too Scare to Stop
