2020 SASH Healthy Sexuality After Betrayal
The poem I read at the end of my presentation is below and can be found here –
An online blogger, Hollie Holden (2016), wrote the following poem –
Today I asked my body what she needed,
Which is a big deal
Considering my journey of
Not Really Asking That Much.
I thought she might need more water.
Or protein.
Or greens.
Or yoga.
Or supplements.
Or movement.
But as I stood in the shower
Reflecting on her stretch marks,
Her roundness where I would like flatness,
Her softness where I would like firmness,
All those conditioned wishes
That form a bundle of
Never-Quite-Rightness,
She whispered very gently:
Could you just love me like this?
