Reclaiming Body Trust: A Path to Healing & Liberation by Hilary Kinavey, Dana Sturtevant
There was a lot of wisdom in this book. But I feel could have been executed better. I had trouble getting really into it and finishing.
There was a heavy focus on having issues with food and relating everything else to having an issue with food. I don’t necessarily feel a connect there so I don’t feel like it always spoke to me.
I was hoping for more through the title and chapter titles. I kept thinking “oh this chapter is going to be good”, and then after think “oh that isn’t what I expected.”
With body trust I think it did a good job of expressing the systems that have disconnected as a whole, but I didn’t necessarily read or finish this feeling like I had more tools to connect more to my own body that I didn’t already know. (Which is what I was hoping for)
