Shapeshifter: A Story of Outgrowing Diet Culture

Thirty years after teen bulimia, Molly finds clues to its origins in family distress, but also in the anxiety and addiction programming of an increasingly pervasive media culture. It's a story of circa-1980s descent, initiation, and return that looks deeply at the traps and spells that lead so many of us away from real nourishment. From the Deep South to new agey California and back again, Shapeshifter is a memoir and an investigation into all that's dissociating us from our bodies and the natural world. You'll read: -How a knowledge of social engineering-from exploitative ads to MK Ultra culture creation-is a much-needed healing step beyond mere media awareness-Ways to know your path and personality through the four elements-fire, earth, air, and water-and ways the element-based Tarot and astrology can be tools for self-discovery.-How the dark mother can often play a role, the need to self-mother, and how the search for nourishment can lead you toward Mother Nature and the divine feminine.-How EMF (like Wi-Fi) scrambles our energies, adding to a sense of dissociation, and how EMF minimalism can help you heal and guard against your soul taking flight Told with a touch of humor, Shapeshifter presents missing pieces of the puzzle for those seeking freedom from the bindings of bulimia and other eating/anxiety disorders. Molly Hall is a former Associated Press reporter, now a writer/editor and wildlife rehabilitator living on a farmlet in coastal Georgia.
