Reclaiming Body Trust

A Path to Healing & Liberation

By: Hilary Kinavey MS LPC, Dana Sturtevant MS RD

Narrated by: Hilary Kinavey MS LPC, Angela Braxton-Johnson, Nicky Endres, Eileen Stevens, Jessica Almasy

A holistic and powerful framework for accepting and liberating our bodies, and ourselves.

Have you ever felt uncomfortable or not “at home” in your body? In this book, the founders of Body Trust, licensed therapist Hilary Kinavey and registered dietician Dana Sturtevant, invite readers to break free from the status quo and reject a diet culture that has taken advantage and profited from trauma, stigma, and disembodiment, and fully reclaim and embrace their bodies.

Informed by the personal body stories of the hundreds of people they have worked with, Reclaiming Body Trust delineates an intersectional, social justice−orientated path to healing in three phases: The Rupture, The Reckoning, and The Reclamation. Throughout, readers will be anchored by the authors’ innovative and revolutionary Body Trust framework to discover a pathway out of a rigid, mechanistic way of thinking about the body and into a more authentic, sustainable way to occupy and nurture our bodies.

Beautiful and healing

As someone who has read and re read as many body positivity and self love books and articles as I could get my hand on, none have been as healing and liberating as this book. It took me on a journey and made me face my self in a way no other has done. Truly an amazing listen and a recommendation for anyone with a body.

Everyone with a body needs to listen to this book

This is an amazing book that everyone with a body needs to hear! I can’t wait to listen again!

Revolutionary

I knew a lot of the content of this because I already belong to body liberation groups and have been in this work a minute, but this is so compassionately written and still has insights and practical things to try to have a better relationship with your body.

love this book don't feel guilty on missing out on a workout

i learned alot after listening to this book I learned not to be so hard on myself and trust my body do what I feel that is best and workout at my own pace

I wish I’d had this book 20 years ago!!

This book is life changing for me.

Body shame is not a “thinking problem,” but a very real experience of having a body that is constantly subject to othering and pathologizing.

So grateful to have this book help me shift my thinking around cultural behaviors, the lens through which I view myself and the world around me, and my relationship to myself and my body. Highly recommend!!
