In a world obsessed with appearances, it is not surprising that body dysmorphic disorder, or BDD, has manifested itself as a troubling and relatively common problem for many individuals. In The Broken Mirror, the first and most definitive book on BDD, Dr. Katharine Phillips draws on years of clinical practice, scientific research, and professional evaluations of over 700 patients to bring readers her expertise and experience with this often debilitating illness.BDD causes sufferers to be obsessed by perceived flaws in their appearance and may afflict as much as two percent of the population, or nearly five million people. Many sufferers are able to function well in society, but remain secretly obsessed by their "hideous acne" or "horrible nose," sneaking constant peeks at a pocket mirror, or spending hours at a time redoing makeup. Others find their lives disintegrate because of their appearance obsessions. It is not an uncommon disorder, simply a hidden one, since sufferers are often embarrassed to tell even their closest friends about their concerns. The author presents the stories and interviews of over 200 individuals to show the many different behaviors and symptoms of BDD, and includes a quick self-assessment questionnaire. Four new chapters provide updated information on treatment of BDD, frequently obtained treatments to be avoided, and more detailed advice for family members and friends on how to cope with the disorder.
Left untreated, the torment of BDD can lead to psychiatric hospitalization and sometimes suicide. With treatment, many sufferers are able to lead normal lives. The Broken Mirror is literally a lifesaving handbook for sufferers, their families, and their doctors.

Editing and Hockey Research Would Have Made This Better
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
A bit of editing and research needed here. Maybe I’m just a hockey fan, but if you’re going to use actual NHL teams as opponents, please make sure you use actual NHL teams and not NBA team names. At the beginning of chapter 24, they play the “Philadelphia 76ers” which is NOT Philly’s NHL team. That’s an insult to Gritty and the Flyers, Philly’s actual NHL team. Honestly, if you’re going to use a fictional NHL team, them
just make all the opponent teams fictional too.
Additionally, I believe that trainers have an entire area to themselves, not just an office with one or two tables. June wouldn’t have to go through the locker room to tear the players; more likely she has her own space and office area. war the workout and recovery areas.

So So Amazing
Format: Kindle
I received this book wiht the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.
In this book we meet June Wilder, Rhett Lawson, Cole Thibault, & Elias Nystrom. When this book opens we find that June has just joined the Atlanta Reapers as their new physical trainer. From the moment she starts she knows that she is going to get push back but there is something about not only this team but these guys that have become more to her than she thought when she first started. Rhett is the kind of guy who make a joke with anyone. One night when something happens with June he realizes there is something more than just jokes with her. Cole has been compartmentalized his life for years now. With the addition of June to the team he finds himself finding a person who understands his compartments and lets him be him. Elias is a man who is a an island. When he learns that opening up to one person who sees him allows him to grow and heal in many ways. Can they all find a HEA or will their positions make that impossible?
Another amazing story by this author. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Good spicy campy hockey
Format: Kindle
I really enjoyed the character development. Reading about their growth and dealing with individual issues made good entertainment. Some surprising twists that made the book even better. Really glad we didn't have to go down the angst road where the public got to damage the budding relationships.

Great read!
Format: Kindle
Wonderful characters with great humor, a bit of mystery and a strong silent grumpy Sentinel to stand with the leading lady. They make her stronger but she also makes them stronger. I love the dynamics and the way it played out. This was a fun read!.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
