My Body, My Home by Victoria Emanuela and Caitlin Metz

Paperback

My Body, My Home is an interactive guide to belonging. It is a path to self-acceptance, resilience, and healing the disconnect between body and mind. This book is for those who have left their bodies – those who needed to escape from their physical form in one way or another – either due to trauma or simply as a result of the constant onslaught of unhealthy messages regarding body image. It is a gentle reminder of why one belongs and a guide to connecting to oneself.

With a variety of soothing meditations and prompts for reflection, this workbook focuses on the relationship between readers and their body. How have they left themselves? What does it mean to feel grounded and safe? To whom, what, and where do they belong? As readers reflect on their answers to these questions, they are encouraged to write in the margins, draw what they feel, and engage with their inner child, their lineage, and their shadow self.
