    Author's Description

    Did the social valuing of breasts lead you to augment, restore, or reconstruct yours with implants? If so, then you know the powerful thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that lead you onto the implant table, crowd your heart and mind when living with or removing breast implants, and persist after explant—even when you’re thrilled to be implant-free.

    But you can liberate yourself from the quest for better breasts and heal its harder-to-see inner scars. Amanda Savage Brown, Ph.D., LCSW, lights the way. Inspired by her own explant journey and specialty practice in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, she created a landmark inner healing program for anyone whose life journey includes breast implants.

    Now you can access her balanced blend of professional insight and personal experience in this first-of-its-kind self-help book and its digital library of guided audios, demo videos, and worksheets. If you like relatable books that offer science-based change, you will love Busting Free. It helps you:

    • Discover the behind-the-scenes process that created your breast “rulebook” and how to stop struggling with its content.
    • Tame the part of your mind that tries fixing your feelings by “fixing” your appearance.
    • Find your way through this journey’s mental, emotional, and social concerns.
    • Transform self-acceptance from an elusive concept into tangible practice—for the rest of your life.

    If you want to finally reclaim your body, mind, and heart from what society taught you to believe about breasts, start Busting Free today.
