He examines the \u003ci\u003eunconscious contract\u003c\/i\u003e with your body, food as communication with the shadow, and the figure of the \u003ci\u003esaboteur\u003c\/i\u003e, before turning to the integration of the body shadow and the practice of shadow work itself.\u003cbr\u003eThis is not a book of techniques to apply from the outside. It is a descent into the material beneath the symptom, where lasting change actually begins.\u003cbr\u003eFor readers ready to look beneath the surface of their relationship with food and body.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBook Seven of The Psychology of Weight Loss Series.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 72\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.15 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 10, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67869773332638,"sku":"9781067165635","price":31.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7748\/8030\/files\/bdMDUHwspR9781067165635.webp?v=1793314684","url":"https:\/\/theword.com\/products\/the-shadow-of-the-body-paperback","provider":"TheWord.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
