Image RESTored: Tear Down Shame and Insecurity to Experience a Body Image Renovation

Product Information

Our state-of-the-art online image restoration handles a variety of damages, such as scratches, tears, mold or mildew damage, stains, creases, water spots, and more. I have tried every diet and exercise regimen over the last 25 years; some have worked to help me lose weight for a period of time, but none have become a sustainable part of my lifestyle, nor have they repaired the damage done by the battering of cultural lies and cruel messages spoken by my family of origin about what is “beautiful”.

I was able to work through them and at least begin the journey of having a healthier view of my body. From the theme of building that runs throughout, to the processing and coloring pages, to the strong foundation verses and the therapist thoughts, as well as the video teachings through QR code links, it is all so incredibly helpful and healing. As a Christian and a counselor, I love how Gilbert laid the foundation of God’s truth while weaving in practical therapeutic exercises.

Not only was the quality of the work excellent but from first contact to having the photograph back on display took 24 hours!

The tools she has created to help process the lies from our pasts, that shape the things we tell ourselves today, are incredibly valuable! Wouldn’t it be just like the enemy of our joy and freedom to keep us stuck in a cycle of obsessing and neglecting our bodies, never free to glorify God with our bodies? I loved everything about this book, the relatable chapters, the temple truths, thoughts from Rachel as a therapist, the prayers and journal prompts, coloring pages and strong foundation verses. My body image is surely improved and I feel more equipped and empowered than ever to deal with the times I slip back into an unhealthy body image.

The videos are an addition to frame the lessons and create a time to commit to memory what I am learning in each unit.

Rachael helps us know who we are in Christ, helps us tear down shameful thoughts, and helps us refocus our mind to what is true so we can live the life God intends for us. The book is filled with treasures from God’s word, wisdom from its passionate author and counselor, Rachael Gilbert, and hope for a body image that reflects, what it is, a body created in God’s image. Whether you want to fix old family photos or perform digital restoration on film prints, it’s time to dig out that old shoebox or photo album from yesteryear and get to retouching.

Please be sure to tune in to the final episode in this series on Real Talk with Rachael next Monday as I share an important announcement.I highly recommend this book as a “must have” for any woman who has ever struggled to see herself as altogether beautiful and chosen by God. From the very first pages, my longtime friend Rachael Gilbert wastes no time reading your mail and challenging your thinking. You might have one layer for the face, one for the hair, one for the background and so on,” says Ramirez about working on a portrait. I really cannot say enough good about this book so far, I truly believe you will love it just as much as I do!

I love the way this resource is designed using Scripture, art, and a Counselor’s Cornerstone at the end of each unit. Most of all I love that she comes at this sensitive topic not only as someone who works with others who struggle, but is also transparent and real about her own struggles in these areas. The world offers us quick fixes and promises about our bodies but the Lord shows us how to steward our bodies in a way that feels life giving and full of joy and peace. Rachael Gilbert, MMFT, is a wife, mom, counselor, owner of BBC Health, Revelation Wellness instructor, and host of the popular podcast Real Talk with Rachael.
