Your body was never meant to become your enemy.
And yet, at some point, it did.
You compare. You control. You promise yourself it's the last time - and then it happens again.
Trapped in the Body is a psychological exploration of why body image struggles rarely begin with vanity - and almost always begin with emotions, shame, comparison, and the need for safety.
Drawing on psychological research, real-life mechanisms, and emotional experiences, Marta Ewa Mazurek explores:
- why thoughts about the body become obsessive
- why comparison feels automatic
- why food, control, or avoidance bring temporary relief
- how social media intensifies shame and self-monitoring
- and where real change actually begins
This is not a book about "loving your body."
It is a book about understanding why you learned to fight it in the first place.
A psychological non-fiction book about body image, emotions, emotional regulation, shame, and self-perception.
