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.
As a Clinical Sexologist, Certified Sex Therapist, and Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I've spent my career helping people overcome their eating disorders, but I also know that this can have a profound impact on their sexuality.
For anyone who's been through an eating disorder, I want you to know that you're not alone in feeling like your sexual desire is gone or that it'll never come back. The good news is that it can return!
What People Are Saying
"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! "- Richard Siegel, PhD, Co-Founding Director of Modern Sex Therapy Institutes"A compassionate, skilful guide that bridges embodiment and desire with tenderness and clarity. Dr. Singh writes with the sensitivity of a clinician and the honesty of someone who's walked this path. A gift for anyone reclaiming intimacy after disconnection." - Michael R. Duryea, LMFT, Therapist, Author, and Contemporary Artist"The definitive and expert reference and guidebook for those emerging from disordered eating toward sexual and relational intimacy and pleasure in life. With psychologically astute and sensitive behavioral exercises, Dr. Singh's approach is inviting and deeply heartfelt."- Judy Scheel, Ph.D., LCSW, expert in eating disorders, author When Food is Family, blogger for psychologytoday.com, certified in sex therapy and forensic psychology.About Jessica
