Today, 'fat' has become not a description of size but a moral category tainted with criticism and contempt.
From Susie Orbach
I'd like to see much more understanding of emotional issues around hurt, abandonment, disappointment, longing, failure and shame, where they stem from and how they drive people and policies brought into public discourse.
Fat is a way of saying no to powerlessness and self-denial.
There is no such thing as a neutral therapist.
Celebrity culture is something that pains me.
I'm the sort of person who likes to undo everything.
Bodies are becoming our personal mission to tame, extend and perfect.
Boys, young men, men of all ages are being captivated by the new visual grammar which pushes men to pout and posture.
No one leaves a long-term relationship scot-free or without conflict.
No one likes to feel helpless. We find it psychologically unbearable and inside ourselves we may try to make ourselves part author of our misfortune rather than simply the recipient of it.
