Overview

Eating disorders affect more than a person's physical health. Nutrient deficiencies, hormone imbalances, struggles with body image and emotional difficulties can create a disconnect with your body and make intimacy complicated. This compassionate workbook will help you to understand how eating disorders, body image and sexuality interconnect, and how to navigate the way this affects your intimate relationships. Practical exercises, reflections and advice from an expert sex therapist with lived experience of eating disorder recovery will support you in exploring your relationship with your body, and empower you to reclaim your sexuality. Whether you're in the early stages of eating disorder recovery or have been working on healing for years, this workbook is a tool to help you reconnect with your body and reclaim your sense of desire.

For years, both as a sexuality educator and a sex therapist, I have lamented how the field of eating disorder treatment was so loath to broach sexuality and intimacy -- especially with the frustration of knowing how they are so deeply connected! Finally, Dr. Singh has provided the perfect tool to make that critical connection, and in a format that is both accessible and deeply transformational. Sexologists and eating disorder specialists should rejoice at its arrival! * Richard Siegel, PhD, Co-Founding Director of Modern Sex Therapy Institutes * ""A compassionate, skilful guide that bridges embodiment and desire with tenderness and clarity. Dr. Singh writes with the sensitivity of a clinician and the honesty of someone who's walked this path. A gift for anyone reclaiming intimacy after disconnection."" * Michael R. Duryea, LMFT, Seattle, Washington *
