Body+ vs CheckingIn

Don't like your body? Want to feel better about your body but find it hard to break your negative feelings about it? With Body+ you can start improving your body image and body acceptance right now. THE GG APPROACH Instead of asking "can I lose 20 pounds" or "how do I lose weight", GG Body takes a different approach: if we improve body image and accept our body, we can then start improving many other aspects of our wellbeing such as mood, depression, anxiety, and obsessions related to our perceived body image. HOW IT WORKS Throw away negative thoughts. Approach positive ones. Learn to identify your thoughts and respond quickly. Train daily and improve. The app focuses on positive body, body acceptance, distress, preoccupations with one’s appearance or perceived flaws. BODY+ FEATURES - 15 free levels to learn and improve. - 1 free daily training level. - 500+ challenges including topics such as body-focused self-esteem, importance of appearance, shame, fear of being judged, the need to look perfect and more. IS IT FOR ME? The app was designed for wide range of people. The following sample statements represent some of the thinking we are targeting: - I am obsessed with my appearance - I have issues with how I look - I need to lose weight - I look weird - I can't have a relationship until I lose weight - I suffer because of my looks - I hate my body - I hate looking in the mirror - I have low body confidence - I don't like a particular part of my body - I wish I could accept my body These thoughts represents various body-related beliefs. In GGBI, we target these beliefs, make them more flexible and introduce ways to allow for positive thinking to take over. RESEARCH AND THEORY BEHIND Body+ According to CBT models, negative thoughts – individuals’ ongoing interpretations of the self, others and the world - maintain psychological difficulties such as obsessive preoccupation, low mood, and maladaptive behaviours. Body+ was developed in order to provide an accessible CBT training platform that would allow individuals with body related distress and preoccupation to better deal with negative self-talk. The application is designed to: 1. increase individuals’ awareness of negative self-talk. 2. train individuals’ to better identify and challenge negative self-talk. 3. increase individuals’ access to neutral and positive self-talk. 4. increase the automaticity of the above processes. Training using this application, will allow for gradual, steady learning of more positive thinking, thereby helping to break the vicious thought cycle maintaining appearance related preoccupation.
