You can learn to love your scars. The visible ones and the ones only you know deep inside.
The body we inhabit - which we also are - tells our story.
Only you see life from this angle. With your ancestry. With so many discoveries. With those limits. With that freckle in the corner of your left eye. With your beautifully shaped mouth. With that arm you're somehow ashamed of, but which was so useful in defending yourself from that abuser.
"From the Outside In" is an invitation for you to notice, understand, appreciate, take care of, and love yourself.
In this non-fiction book, Cíntia Ribeiro describes her intimate process of transformation while facing a painful burnout in a light, ironic, and inspiring way. As the guiding thread of each chapter, she shares her experiences in powerful rolfing sessions - this science (or should we call it art?) aimed at reintegrating the person into space-time and gravity. In synchrony with the education of her movements, the author experiences a profound internal realignment.
And she also invites you to give all the love that person in the mirror deserves, just for being who they are. A love that doesn't depend on others. But on you. For you. By you.
