Nourishing Desire: A Guide to Sexual Recovery and Discovery for People with Eating Disorders
Eating disorders affect more than a person's physical health. Nutrient deficiencies, hormone imbalances, struggles with body image and emotional difficulties can create a disconnect with your body and make intimacy complicated.
This compassionate workbook will help you to understand how eating disorders, body image and sexuality interconnect, and how to navigate the way this affects your intimate relationships.
Whether you're in the early stages of eating disorder recovery or have been working on healing for years, this workbook is a tool to help you reconnect with your body and reclaim your sense of desire.
Media Reviews
-
"For years, both as a sexuality educator and a sex therapist, I have lamented how the field of eating disorder treatment was so loath to broach sexuality and intimacy -- especially with the frustration of knowing how they are so deeply connected! Finally, Dr. Singh has provided the perfect tool to make that critical connection, and in a format that is both accessible and deeply transformational. Sexologists and eating disorder specialists should rejoice at its arrival! "
