Summary of Hilary Kinavey & Dana Sturtevant's Reclaiming Body Trust - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Don't forget to take note of the cultural roots of your ideas about your value and worthiness. #2 When we are born into this world, we are not aware of gender norms or racism. As we grow, our socialization begins, and we are exposed to the ways the culture and the people around us categorize whose bodies matter and whose don't.
#3 We are all embedded in social systems that value and legitimize certain presentations over others, and these systems impact the ways we feel at home in our bodies. #4 We need to teach ourselves to trust our bodies and stop trying to control things we cannot control. We need to teach ourselves that the body is not an enemy, but a friend that needs to be listened to and respected.
