Το όνομα της είναι Zubaida και είναι 87 ετών. Ο πατέρας, της είχε απαγορεύσει να πάει σχολείο. Όταν πια μεγάλη αποφάσισε να μορφωθεί, της το απαγόρεψε ο σύζυγος της. Δεν της δόθηκε ποτέ η ευκαιρία να μάθει να γράφει και να διαβάζει. Φέτος πήρε την απόφαση και γράφτηκε σε σχολείο για αναλφάβητους στο Κάιρο κάνοντας περήφανο όχι μόνο τον εαυτό της, αλλά και τα εγγόνια και τα δισέγγονα της.
Οι όμορφες και γενναίες γυναίκες αυτού του κόσμου.
Πόσο δύναμη και έμπνευση μοιράζουν σε όλες μας.
- Iliada Evangelia Kothra

Ukraine is being invaded and my heart goes out to my friends in Kiev.

It saddens me deeply that it has come to this.

Make no mistake this will inevitably affect all of us.

I so much enjoyed watching this event: “ A Matter of Death and Life-Irvin Yalom”. It was a profoundly moving conversation about topics such as: death, s*x, self-disclosure and Irvin Yalom’s process of grief and writing his latest book. I have read all of his books and I’m looking forward to reading his new one.

✨ Body neutrality explained ✨
The term body neutrality is believed to have been coined in 2010 by a treatment programme at the Women’s Centre for Binge and Emotional Eating in Vermont, USA. The idea behind body neutrality is to help us steer away from self-hate without the pressure of having to love our body. Instead, it’s about working towards a place where we respect our bodies, but don’t give too much energy to positive or negative thoughts about it.

The relationship we have with our body can be messy and complicated. Embracing body neutrality can simplify things by taking a step back and seeing our bodies for what they are – our home. To do this, we need to remove some pressure and focus on other personal attributes and qualities. We can leave the destructive thoughts of self-hate behind and set up camp in a place of neutrality. A place where we respect and honour our bodies. A place that feels more like home.

The way we feel about our bodies can affect our s*x life. Research has shown that negative body image in heteros*xual women in committed relationships is one of the factors responsible for experiencing low levels of s*xual desire with a partner (Journal of S*x Research, 53:9, Dosch et, 2015). When your mind is focussed on distracting thoughts, negativity and anxiety about your appearance, it is very difficult to be in your body and focus on the erotic. Therefore the body and the mind are disconnected, which makes it very difficult to be in the present moment connected with your bodily responses and sensations. Mindfulness and therapy can help you quieten the critical voice, heal the root causes of your poor body image, connect with your desires and bodily sensations.

Unprocessed trauma is exhausting, life limiting and you deserve more. Keep going and never give up. Recovery is possible.

Every single body is completely different from one another. We all come from different backgrounds, different countries, different ethnicities, different childhoods, different physical and mental health. Your body has been through a journey and it’s a representation of all the years you’ve been alive. It has marks, maybe tattoos and piercings, scars and memories. Treat it with compassion and don’t try to fit in with society’s standards. Your body is your business, not society’s.

This photo of Marilyn Monroe reminds us that it is okay to not have a flat stomach!
Your stomach is beautiful just the way it is; it helps you digest food, it keeps all your internal organs in place, it can be a little bed for your dog or cat....and much more.

What is objectification theory and how does it affect a woman’s life? In 1997 Fredrickson and and Roberts found that following repeated exposure to objectifying material (such us media, magazines, adverts, videos) girls and women begin to self-consciously monitor their bodies and how they feel they appear to observers. This is called “self-objectification” and it can affect women’s s*x lives and intimacy. The study suggests that accumulations of such experiences may result in mental health difficulties, such as eating disorders, body dysmorphia, s*xual dysfunction, depression. .

I will be posting more on the themes of s*xual shame, objectification, fear of intimacy and distorted body image. .

Patriarchal society has a deep-rooted history of normalising the mistreatment of female bodies. This affects a woman’s body image, s*x life and relationship with food. Women are taught to define themselves based on their appearance. They are conditioned to measure their societal cachet based on how slender their frames are, or how much space their bodies occupy. The more delicate they look on the outside, the easier they are to control—this is how the patriarchy seeks to disarm females, and an eating disorder is just another tool to maintain that dynamic of power. Moreover, what makes this such an insidious tactic is it drives women to objectify their own bodies under the pretext of eating a healthier diet, losing five pounds, or toning their waistline. Beliefs such as “all women should enjoy penetrative s*x”, “the man must initiate s*x, not the woman”, “it would be rude or abnormal not to end a heteros*xual encounter with vaginal penetration” have caused a lot of misconceptions about s*x and relationships.

One of the core characteristics of codependency is reliance on other people for approval and a sense of identity. If your pressure to lose weight comes from a place of seeking approval from people whose approval you’ve been trying to earn all your life, take a pause and think carefully whether you can really earn someone’s love in this way. You may realise that you what you actually need is a healthier and a more loving relationship with yourself 💖
