Body Psychotherapist Ellen Gayda on ‘Body Inhabitance’ | Do You Live in Your Body or Have You Gone Fishing’? AOC Health & Happiness
I was honest with Ellen, answering all her her questions — many of them focusing on my relationship with my body since childhood — truthfully. This is easy for me to do, not only because I’ve been analyzed and read many psychology books, but because I took a very personal journey into my body when I picked up the camera and began photographing myself about eight years ago.
This journey is the focus of my unpublished Sensual and Superyoung book — which became it’s own little disaster in 2005.
The day I looked in the mirror and admitted that I totally loathed my body about eight years ago, is the day I took responsibility for my own body inhabitance — or so I thought. Never had I worked in such concert with myself on diet, exercise, keeping a journal, and dealing with my physical self up close and personal with the camera.
Reflecting now on this self-centered Anne trip, I’m not certain that the journey to the new me was as holistic and cohesive as I believed at the time.
Controlling Women’s Bodies

In America, Too, Hypocrisy Rules
Just this week I took a look at porn subscriptions in America.
As you might surmise, even in America, the states that yell the loudest about the need for women to ‘cover up’ and control their animalistic urges, sign up monthly in numbers that exceed New York, California and more liberal states — the ones with ‘no morals’.
This is the abyss of hypocrisy threatening women’s lives on a daily basis.
From my perspective, female sexuality is front and center, in the ‘battle for civilization’, even though the fight is clothed in religious identities.
One wonders if there is any light at the end of this tunnel.
At a time in my own life, when I want to be reading the great books of the Western World and reflecting on the great minds I will not know before I die, I must go back to pitching my tent in the dessert, hunkering down to do my part in digging us out of this mess.
We’re globalists, like-minded people, identifying the seventy per cent of shared values we can agree on, and not fighting over the rest.
