The Wisdom of Your Body

Finding Healing, Wholeness, and Connection Through Embodied Living

De: Hillary L. McBride PhD

Narrado por: Emily Ellet

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 you think of your body as an accessory to what you believe you really are - your mind. 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.

Psychologist and award-winning researcher Hillary McBride explores the broken and unhealthy ideas we have inherited about our body. Embodiment is the way we are in the world, and our embodiment is heavily influenced by who we have been allowed to be. McBride shows that many of us feel disembodied due to colonization, racism, sexism, and patriarchy - destructive systems that rank certain bodies as less valuable, beautiful, or human than others.

The Wisdom of Your Body offers a compassionate, healthy, and holistic perspective on embodied living. Weaving together illuminating research, stories from her work as a therapist, and deeply personal narratives of healing from a life-threatening eating disorder, a near-fatal car accident, and chronic pain, McBride invites us to reclaim the wisdom of the body and to experience the wholeness that has been there all along.

Incredible, take the context and grow, don’t get stuck on disagreements

This book! Wow, while I disagree with the author on some Biblical details and beliefs, the overall or other concepts go perfectly with everything I have been learning about psychology, the brain, trauma and healing. I grew so very much as an individual and a leader, a parent, friend, human! Please listen to this book as I think that everyone should read or listen to this book. Try to consider it like a rotisserie chicken, chew the meat and spit out the bones. This author is brilliant and I pray that people will be open minded to go all the whole way through this and take notes, learn and pray through this book. Even better, go through this book together with a counselor.

From fear to love of my body

This book assisted me significantly on the path from depersonalization to embracing and loving my body💗

Excellent

Powerful book all should read. Loved every minute of it. Highly recommend this book. Read today.

Great book

Enjoyed it and it helped me connect with my body better. Would ready any book she writes.

Must read,

Audio is fine, but the book is outstanding. Its a better read for me, but it was nice to listen to it after reading.

Vital wisdom in the culture we live in

I don’t write reviews but as a woman, a mother and a physician this book touched me on so many levels. I think it should be required reading (or listening) for anyone with a body. Thank you!

Helpful

I liked the section on spirituality the most. Good information on many topics. Narration was a little distracting

A Beautiful invitation back into ourselves

The narration was gentle and lovely, a perfect match to the author herself and the content of this book. We are gently, lovingly welcomed to explore our relationship with our bodies, and invited back into them in small and significant ways. I thoroughly e joyed this book and will recommend it to peers and clients.

Big Love for this book.

The American obesity rate is int the 30%. We need some positivity and to apologize to our bodies for feeding them foods unworthy of them !

Love this author and book

This is a really great book inviting you to know and love yourself which is in fact your body. I’m at the beginning of my journey of embodiment work, and this book was really pivotal.
