The
Magnifying Glass

A guided practice in looking without the critical lens

There is a voice that shows up in the mirror. Most women I know have it. It does not wait to be invited - it arrives the moment you look, and it goes straight to what is wrong.

This practice is for the woman who has spent years walking past her own reflection. Who can say all the right things about self-acceptance - and still flinch at the mirror.

This guide will help you see what you usually go straight past. To look at yourself with a different kind of attention, to look without the evaluative lens that has been deciding what you see.

The Magnifying Glass is a concept identified by body image researcher Thomas Cash. This free guide walks you through two practices: one to map your own pattern, and one to begin changing it.
