Many times to overcome a problem we can count on the help of friends, who may have gone through the same situation and tell us reports of similar situations.

Do not blame yourself if you do not totally love any feature of your body, or if you still have certain taboos. With patience and calm it is possible to change all that. Videos can serve as sources of argument, information and be a primary part of the deconstruction process. "However, the help of a specialized professional is fundamental to deal with emotional issues in a deeper and lasting way", concludes Sueli.
