Synopsis

Learn to love your body—for real this time

No matter how much we try to tell ourselves to love our bodies and accept our flaws, most women can't quite get there. Even though we know the beauty standard is unrealistic, we secretly feel like it would be so much easier if our stomach were just a little flatter, or our skin a little smoother, or a million other little things. As a result, we sacrifice our health, heritage, sanity, and lives on the altar of beauty culture. Why is it so hard to feel confident about our bodies, or even just accept them?

Because willpower alone isn't enough to undo generations of brainwashing intended to repress women's confidence and power. In The Invisible Corset, Geertsen carefully illustrates the psychological gaslighting that leads women to internalize the belief that their appearance makes them not only unworthy of love, but incapable of fulfilling their actual destiny. By highlighting each restricting string of the invisible corset all women wear, Geertsen helps us reclaim our bodies for ourselves, discovering newfound confidence, power, joy, and pleasure as we do.

For any woman who is ready to go from struggle, discomfort, control, and shame to pleasure, confidence, freedom, and soul-fulfilling purpose, The Invisible Corset is an essential guide.

Goodreads review by Laura on March 24, 2021

As a busy mom of young children, most of my time isn't my own, but I MADE time to read this book. It was my self care for two months as I slowly digested its words and engaged in its exercises. When I finished, I told my husband, "This is probably one of the best books I've ever read"--and I do NOT......more

I actually agree with a lot of what the author says in this book, and I think some parts can be really helpful for anyone struggling with self-hatred. However, for most of the book the author’s tone is so preachy and judgmental. She doesn’t seem to believe that some women truly do enjoy wearing make......more

Goodreads review by Eric on January 09, 2022

I don’t read many books around feminism, or really anything with “for women” in the title or subtitle. I’ve always told myself that I wouldn’t be able to connect to the material and the message. But, I’m so glad I gave this book a chance, and what I think is different about this type of book is the......more
