Helpful to dig into why women experience eating and body concerns. Helpful for practitioners and any woman honestly (because what woman doesn’t have issues with her body and relationship with food? Not all, but most). Incorporates a lot of metaphors and stories, good take home skills and practices, and spiritual attunement with our feminine nature and intuition. Easy and quick read!

This was a great book to help clients with eating disorders. I will say I wasn't a fan of some of the stories and would love to add more perspectives from males as well.

this is probably one of the best most life altering pieces of non-ficton i've ever read and that includes crimethinc! i know the title sounds a little touchy-feely and i was nervous about it since i don't read a lot of self-help but i don't think there is anyone, man or woman, who could read this book and not walk away a better person. i read it really slowly because it took so much time to really process each chapter. i think even if you have no issues with food/weight/body issues (and if so, congrats) you could read this book and have new tools to deal with whatever it is that's going on in your life. i give this book 10 million stars

Interesting and a little woo woo - not very gender friendly and skewed more toward BED/BN than AN but some interesting myths and legends, good advice to be more assertive for oneself and the ending stories were much better than some of the chapters because they showed the difficulty and ups and down of recovery instead of the pretty picture that reading your dreams will solve all your problems

It is hard for me to articulate what I feel about this book because it made such a deep impression on me. Before reading this book I felt like strong rushing waters from a broken dam, vaguely wanting to go a certain direction but not really being able to harness the energy and power bursting out all over the place. This situation, if left, would either turn destructive, or in to a stagnant lake. When I read this book it taught me how to gather my rushing waters and direct them in to a healthy channel. So I can be ever-flowing, ever-increasing, always a stronger Me. I learned how to be in control (I call it being "one" with myself).
This book gave me the courage, the hope, and the tools to begin to open my eyes and really see, and accept all of Me. A difficult journey that I will probably be continuing for many years, but Oh so worth it. I really need to buy this book. It is one that I always want to have on-hand.

In conversation and in reading-before-bed I return to this book regularly, it was what I needed the moment I got it.
