African Americans are disproportionately impacted by disordered eating behaviors, yet their experiences are frequently neglected by doctors and mental health experts. As a result, our \u003ci\u003emost\u003c\/i\u003e vulnerable communities are forced to navigate systems primed to dismiss their needs, leaving them without proper care, or often even the language they need to identify what's wrong. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e McCullough's groundbreaking work radically validates the lived experiences and generational traumas of BIPOC communities. As part of a steadily growing movement among clinicians to \"decolonize therapy,\" her deeply affirming approach seeks to understand disordered eating patterns by examining the psychological wounds left by centuries of racism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Weaving together crucial history, compelling client stories, guided meditation, journal prompts, and McCullough's own journey with disordered eating behaviors, \u003ci\u003eReclaiming the Black Body\u003c\/i\u003e offers readers a safe space to feel seen--and a powerful pathway to healing.
