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.

      Psychologist Hillary McBride analyzes what causes people to develop a disconnect from their own bodies and introduces a new mindset that will support and strengthen physical and mental health. Emily Ellet narrates McBride's research and personal experiences with confidence and gentleness. She comforts listeners using a compassionate and friendly tone as McBride examines the impacts of our perceptions of our own bodies, touching upon such topics as emotional and physical trauma, societal oppression, and sexuality. In a clear and soothing voice, Ellet shares McBride's loving and nurturing advice on how to perceive pain, reconnect spirit and body, and go from disembodiment to being fully connected to our extraordinarily capable bodies as we journey towards healing and wellness.
