Story
Mainstream health science has let you down. Weight loss is not the key to health, diet and exercise are not effective weight-loss strategies, and fatness is not a death sentence. Body Respect debunks common myths about weight, including the misconceptions that BMI can accurately measure health, that fatness necessarily leads to disease, and that dieting will improve health. The authors also help make sense of how poverty and oppression - such as racism, homophobia, and classism - affect life opportunity, self-worth, and even influence metabolism.

Radical Belonging is not a simple self-love treatise. Focusing only on self-love ignores the important fact that we have negative experiences because our culture has targeted certain bodies and people for abuse or alienation. For marginalized people, a focus on self-love can be a spoonful of sugar that makes the oppression go down. This groundbreaking book goes further, helping us to manage the challenges that stem from oppression and moving beyond self-love and into belonging.

Story
An Internal Family Systems Guide to Recovery from Eating Disorders: Healing Part by Part addresses the necessity of healing the eating disorder sufferer's three groups of inner "Parts": the Mentors, the Advocates, and the Kids. In order to reconnect to their sense of Self and to achieve an inner balance necessary for recovery, the listener learns to address the unique needs of each of their "Parts." This book combines examples from the author's client cases and her own recovery with a step-by-step framework for identifying and healing the listeners' Parts using the IFS model.
Publisher's Summary
Embody: Learning to Love Your Unique Body (and Quiet That Critical Voice!) brings to life the work of The Body Positive, a nonprofit organization founded in 1996 by Connie Sobczak and Elizabeth Scott, LCSW.
This audiobook's message is rooted in the philosophy that people inherently possess the wisdom necessary to make healthy choices and to live in balance. It emphasizes that self-love, acceptance of genetic diversity in body size, celebration of the unique beauty of every individual, and intuitive self-care are fundamental to achieving good physical and emotional health. It encourages listeners to shift their focus away from ineffective, harmful weight-loss efforts toward improving and sustaining positive self-care behaviors.
Initial research indicates this work significantly improves people's ability to regulate eating, decreases depression and anxiety, and increases self-esteem - all critical resources that promote resiliency against eating and body-image problems.
Embody guides listeners step-by-step through the five core competencies of The Body Positive's model: reclaim health, practice intuitive self-care, cultivate self-love, declare your own authentic beauty, and build community. These competencies are fundamental skills anyone can practice on a daily basis to honor their innate wisdom and take good care of their whole selves because they are motivated by self-love and appreciation.
Rather than dictating a prescriptive set of rules to follow, listeners are guided through patient, mindful inquiry to find what works uniquely in their own lives to bring about - and sustain - positive self-care changes and a peaceful relationship with their bodies.
Through workshops, lectures, and leadership training sessions, Sobczak and Scott have helped thousands of people of all sizes, ages, sexual orientations, genders, ethnicities, and socioeconomic levels to lead healthier and more meaningful lives by learning how to cherish their unique bodies - no small task given today's barrage of thin images and emphasis on dieting.
Embody offers practical tools as well as personal stories to bring Sobczak and Scott's work into one's own life. It is a resource that can be revisited time again while moving through the inevitable changes that come with personal growth. A lifeboat in the sea of messages that demean the bodies of both men and women, Embody is a safe haven for all.
