Summary of Olivia Purvis's The Insecure Girl's Handbook

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The inner critic is the voice that tells us we are not good enough, and it shows up when we are least expecting it. We can learn to recognize it and not let it dictate the things we say to ourselves, especially when we’re learning how to handle difficult situations. #2 Insecurities are often developed from small, unnoticed moments in our pasts. They can come from not-so-subtle comments about our outfits or food choices, to friendship fallouts and uncomfortable job interviews. #3 There are always going to be the small moments that stick with you, and the unshakable ones that seem to stay with you forever. You'll never be able to forget the time your ex-boyfriend shouted HAIRY MUFF! across a train platform, leaving you thinking body hair was unattractive. #4 The inner critic is the voice in our head that constantly judges us, and it is often triggered by our emotions. We are more likely to give ourselves praise when we’re feeling joyful, and more inclined to give ourselves a knock when we’re feeling sadness, fear or anger.
