Problematized Bodies: How Our Physical Selves Shape Love, Work, & Identity
Title of Event: Problematized Bodies: How Our Physical Selves Shape Love, Work, & Identity
Description of Event:
No matter what people do, we do it in a body. That includes how we work, play, eat, parent, make love, think, feel, and die.
And so every patient’s body is part of the therapeutic process. Each week, you see patients struggling not just with illness, but with chronic pain, insomnia, limited mobility, loss of function, infertility, food allergies, sexual dysfunction, hidden disabilities, and weight problems. They also struggle with shame and isolation.
