Alexis Conason Psy.D.

I've been getting back into intuitive eating. Like most people who discover this movement, I've been cycling back and forth between this way of being in the world and the deeply entrenched diet-culture mentality that has me seeking intentional weight loss. I've heard many practitioners speak about how this process is to be expected, so I'm accepting it for what it is: a predictable part of the journey. It takes time to shed decades of cultural conditioning, and I'm giving myself space (and grace) to work through all of that.

I came across this book randomly at the library, and I immediately snatched it up. It hadn't even been on my radar of intuitive eating material, but I'm so glad it crossed my path. Conason's ability to relate to my worries, fears and deeply entrenched beliefs is remarkable. In addition, I appreciated her down-to-earth tone and her genuine support. While the book doesn't cover anything you can't find in other intuitive eating resources, what it does offer - with open arms - is unconditional acceptance and understanding. At this point in my journey, it's exactly what I needed, and for that, I'm immensely grateful to Alexis Conason.… (altro)
