Suelta la dieta, sana tu cuerpo


Book Description

Rompe con la cultura de dieta y haz las paces con tu cuerpo tal y como es. ¿Alguna vez has pensado que, si perdieras uno o dos kilos, tu vida mejoraría? ¿Cuándo hiciste tu primera dieta? ¿Cuántos tiempo, esfuerzo y dinero has invertido para conseguir un cuerpo normativo? ¿Sientes que tu cuerpo es un work in progress eterno? Mantenernos positivas acerca de nuestro aspecto en todo momento es agotador, además de sumamente difícil: más de la mitad de las mujeres sufre por su imagen corporal y cree que no son lo suficientemente buenas ni lo suficientemente bellas. El movimiento body positive es tendencia, pero ¿qué quiere decir realmente querer nuestro cuerpo? ¿Y si no tuviese que gustarnos nuestro aspecto físico? En este libro, Laura Alberola –psicóloga especializada en trastornos de conducta alimentaria y trauma– nos presenta una visión rompedora que nos invita a replantearnos todo lo que sabemos sobre nuestra imagen corporal, la autoestima, las emociones y nuestra relación con nuestros cuerpos. Suelta la dieta, sana tu cuerpo nos habla, de forma compasiva y combativa, sobre el arte radical de aprender a tratarnos a nosotras mismas con la amabilidad y compasión con las que tratamos a los demás. ¿Qué encontrarás en este libro? -Con una voz compasiva y sincera, Laura Alberola nos comparte en primera persona su propio camino hacia la aceptación corporal. -Una visión innovadora sobre la neutralidad corporal: porque no tienes por qué querer tu cuerpo, basta con aprender a habitarlo en paz. -Herramientas para identificar las circunstancias (contexto, familia, cultura de la dieta, gordofobia, traumas) que nos han llevado a estar en guerra constante con nuestros cuerpos. -Recursos prácticos para aprender a identificar y gestionar tus emociones para vivir en paz contigo misma y poner límites sanos. -Información neecesaria para bajar el concepto de la «autoestima» de su pedestal y descubrir la importancia de la autocompasión. Libérate de la presión estética y haz las paces contigo.
