Discover what you can do to avoid emotional triggers around weight, and find freedom and joy in your body.
Body Sense builds on the concept that core feelings—shame, fear, powerlessness, depression, deprivation, loss of control, or loneliness—trigger the continued overuse of food, despite a dieter's best intentions.
Written by a therapist with more than fifteen years of experience, it features compassionate, real-life stories and prescriptive exercises to draw readers through a process that helps stop the continued interference of their core feelings. When those struggling with weight concerns learn how to stop the effects of these feelings, they will no longer need to use food as a tool to numb the emotions.
Choice is foremost in the book—a one-size-fits-all diet program does not serve everyone. The book contains several different approaches to strategic food planning and also specific techniques to attack each issue, giving the reader immediate ammunition for change.
