Unfiltered Professional Companion Guide

A ready-to-run 8-session program with between-session practices.

Open the guide, prepare in minutes, and lead a complete 8-session program without building anything from scratch.

Body image distress rarely stays on the surface. Checking, comparing, avoiding, and seeking reassurance can bring short term relief while keeping clients stuck. This guide turns the Unfiltered workbook into a structured program you can lead one on one or in a group, built around the four parts of body image, the body image filter, and P.A.C.E. Follow the full 8-session pathway, or use only the modules that fit your client.

Inside, you will find:
• 8 sessions, each with an overview, individual facilitation, and a full group program
• Questions, supportive responses, and adaptations for each session
• Timed group plans with structured discussion and skill rehearsal
• Initial assessment guidance and a process based framework for case formulation
• P.A.C.E. implementation, exposure, and behavioral experiment guidance
• Common roadblocks, care coordination, and red flags
• 14 pages of client practice tools, ready to print

The 8 sessions: Assess, Orient, and Define the Target · Map the Maintaining Cycle · Understand How the Pattern Was Learned · Make Learned Stories and the Filter Visible · Teach P.A.C.E. as a Response Skill · Change One Maintaining Behavior · Build Rooted Honor Through Action · Consolidate and Plan for Recurrence

Best for: therapists, counselors, Registered Dietitians, sports professionals, and other clinicians supporting clients with body image distress, checking, comparison, and avoidance.

Professional use license: Print the pages labeled Client Practice Tool for your own current clients, including groups you lead. Each participant needs their own copy of the client workbook.
