February is often framed as a month about romance, but we like to think of it as a month about connection, both with ourselves and with each other.

If you’re craving deeper intra- and inter-personal intimacy (the kind rooted in honesty, nervous system safety, and authenticity), here are 6 therapist-recommended books we love at Autonomy Therapy:

📚 Wired for Love (Stan Tatkin)
A practical, nervous-system-informed guide to building secure partnership and lasting closeness.

📚 Fighting for Your Marriage (Markman, Stanley, & Blumberg)
Research-backed tools for communication, conflict, and strengthening your bond over time.

📚 Say What You Mean (Oren Jay Sofer)
A beautiful blend of mindfulness + communication skills for more honest, connected conversations.

📚 Attached (Levine & Heller)
A foundational read on attachment styles and how they shape the way we love and relate.

📚 Secure Relating (Heller & LaPierre)
A compassionate roadmap for creating healthier patterns of connection, trust, and repair.

📚 Setting Boundaries That Stick (Juliane Taylor Shore)
For anyone learning that boundaries aren’t walls, they’re bridges to more sustainable relationships.

Connection isn’t something we can force.
It’s something we build, slowly, through curiosity, compassion, and vulnerable conversations.

Practicing body respect isn’t about perfection, it’s about intention. It looks like listening instead of criticizing, caring instead of controlling, and choosing compassion over comparison. Small shifts matter, and your body deserves respect at every stage. 🌿

Eating disorder recovery is not linear, and that’s okay. During Awareness Month, gentle reminders matter: progress can be quiet, your worth isn't contingent on productivity, and every step toward nourishment and self-compassion counts. Healing is possible. 💙🌱

Food freedom is about allowing yourself to eat without restriction or guilt. When food is no longer the enemy, we can tune back into our bodies, rebuild trust, and nourish ourselves with compassion rather than control. 🍽️

Stepping out of body image and comparison traps starts with gently reconnecting to your own lived experience, not someone else’s highlight reel.

When we shift from comparison to self-compassion, we create space for acceptance, presence, and a more peaceful relationship with our bodies. 🌱

Perfectionism is often fueled by a loud inner critic trying to keep us “safe” through pressure and self-judgment. When we learn to notice that voice with compassion, rather than believing it, we create space for self-acceptance, flexibility, and growth.

Healing begins when kindness replaces criticism. ✨
