Many of us have a complicated relationship with our body. Maybe you've been made to feel ashamed of your body or like it isn't good enough. Maybe your body is riddled with stress, pain, or the effects of trauma. Maybe your experiences with racism, sexism, ableism, heterosexism, ageism, or sizeism have made you believe your body isn't the right kind of body. Whatever the reason, many of us don't feel at home in our bodies. But being disconnected from ourselves as bodies means being disconnected from truly living and from the interconnection that weaves us all together. In The Wisdom of Your Body , Hillary L. McBride invites us to reclaim the wisdom of the body and to experience the wholeness that has been there all along, weaving together ● illuminating research ● practices to deepen your relationship with your bodily self ● end-of-chapter prompts and questions ● real stories from her work as a therapist ● personal narratives of healing from a life-threatening eating disorder, a near-fatal car accident, and chronic pain Come home to your body and embrace a more compassionate, healthy, and holistic perspective on embodied life.
