SELLEST OSAST
Perimenopause, chronic pain, shifting body image - Maria is living through changes that healthcare largely ignores and society expects women to navigate silently. In this Book Therapy conversation, we confront the gaps in support for women experiencing these transitions and the toll of constantly measuring ourselves against impossible standards.
How do we rebuild our relationship with our bodies when everything feels like it's shifting? And why does loving ourselves feel so radical in a culture built on perfection?
Reclaiming Body Trust by Hillary Canavy and Dana Sturtevant offers a framework for breaking free from disordered patterns, while Fourth Wing provides the immersive escape we sometimes need. This is a candid dialogue about aging, self-care, and finding compassion for the bodies we inhabit.
