"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."
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!
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.
