When someone criticizes our favorite works — whether it’s a book, movie, workshop, song, blog or painting — it can feel really bad. And that’s putting it mildly.
When someone disagrees with us over a minor issue of aesthetics or style, it’s easy enough to either debate, or agree to disagree. But what about when we find out that people and works we admire aren’t as great as we thought?
When a person in a marginalized group points out that a work you really love hurts them in some way, it can be hard to put our attachment to the work and its creator aside long enough to listen. It’s time to learn to process our feelings about criticism and use them as fuel for our anti-oppression work in the world.

The entire workbook is printable at 8.5×11″ paper size and contains space for your reflections so that you can fill it out in your preferred format.

Plenty has been published on body image but image suggests a static fixed body, unmitigated through our social interactions and varying times and spaces. This book is not a “how-to” guide for fat confidence….
