And who you are, I promise, is beautiful. Scars and all.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eJEWEL, \u003c\/b\u003e Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter, humanitarian activist, and mental health advocate\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Dr. Blaise Aguirre has led the way on many clinical issues.

As a concept of its own, defined equally by the author and by the generous people with lived experience who contributed to this book, self-hatred transcends diagnoses and can be, or rather finally will be, a core treatment target in the alleviation of human suffering.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eJON HERSHFIELD, MFT, \u003c\/b\u003e Director of The Center for OCD and Anxiety, Sheppard Pratt Hospital\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Not only is this book beautifully and compassionately written as itself an act of love and inspiration, it shines a light on one of the most underlooked topics in mental health and the lives of suffering people who deserve better.

In his characteristic straight-talking yet compassionate style, Aguirre not only provides a rich understanding of self-hatred, but the life-saving tools to combat it. This book is essential reading for those who experience self-hatred and the clinicians who support them.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eCARLA SHARP, PhD, \u003c\/b\u003e John and Rebecca Moores Professor, University of Houston\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"A long overdue masterful deep dive into the importance of tackling self-hatred head-on, with expert viewpoints from individuals with lived experience and mental health professionals.
