Synopsis

In I Hate Myself: Overcome Self-Hatred and Realize Why You're Wrong About You, internationally known assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School Dr. Blaise Aguirre tackles the pervasive and often ignored issue of self-hatred. This book provides crucial insights into identifying and overcoming this deeply disturbing feeling, explaining why common practices of "self-care" or "self-love" often fall short in cases where self-hatred has become an integral part of a person's identity.

The book delves into the roots of self-hatred, associated mental health disorders, and offers practical strategies for overcoming these challenges.

In this book, you will:

● Learn to identify the origins and signs of self-hatred

● Understand the connection between self-hatred and suicidal behavior as well as to co-occurring disorders like borderline personality disorder and depression

● Discover effective strategies for transforming self-loathing into self-compassion

Perfect for those struggling with self-hatred and their loved ones, as well as mental health professionals, I Hate Myself offers a compassionate and practical approach to achieving self-acceptance.
