From what I understand that all depends on the individual. I believe different therapies work for different people (as well as depending on what your needs are). I have a friend who has been working with DBT (Dialectical behavior therapy) for a few years. She suggested it to me. I may try that or Cognitive behavioral therapy. I will also work on self care.

Exactly, self care has been so helpful! For me it's mostly cosmetic habits, like better hygiene, body lotion, hair care. I've always had a very negative approach to my body and doing these simple habits daily helps me love my body more. I'm not saying I don't struggle with self image because I do. But it does help. And feeling fresh and clean makes me more confident in contact with people.
