The Relaxed Woman: Reclaim Rest and Live an Empowered, Joy-filled Life
內容簡介
《自在的女人:擁抱鬆弛,找回療癒與自由》
你曾經遇過真正放鬆的女人嗎?你想成為那樣的自己嗎?
心理學家妮可拉.珍.霍布斯(Nicola Jane Hobbs)憑藉多年治療經驗與前瞻研究,在《自在的女人》一書中打破「放鬆=懶惰」的文化迷思,指出真正的放鬆,是通往療癒、自由與喜悅之路。
我們活在一個讓女人無法喘息的社會裡——總是匆忙、負重、耗竭。為了成為完美的伴侶、母親、女兒、同事與朋友,我們拼盡全力,卻常常只換來疲憊、孤單與自我懷疑。
本書融合神經科學與心理學,佐以真實女性故事,深入探討社會壓力、不切實際的期待與創傷經歷,如何影響我們的身心與關係。霍布斯引領讀者重新學會放鬆——讓自我價值不再繫於「效率」之上,能安心休息、信任直覺、尊重自身需求,活出更真誠的節奏與價值觀。
書中還附有實用練習:簡單的日常儀式、幫助神經系統重整的療癒方法,以及因應生活壓力的策略,陪伴每一位渴望從壓力中釋放、活出真實自我的女人。
Have you ever met a relaxed woman? Would you like to become one?
Drawing on years of therapeutic experience and pioneering research, psychologist Nicola Jane Hobbs dispels the cultural myth that relaxing is lazy and shows us how it is, in truth, a path to healing, freedom and joy.
We have become a society of rushing women, overburdened women, exhausted women. Stress, guilt and burnout ripple through our lives. We try so hard to do it all – to be the perfect partners, mothers, daughters, colleagues, friends – only to end up feeling not good enough, unappreciated, lonely and exhausted.
In The Relaxed Woman, Nicola Jane Hobbs explores how the stress of societal pressures, unrealistic expectations and traumatic experiences impact our minds, bodies and relationships and illuminates a path towards healing. Weaving together neuroscience and psychology with inspirational stories from women who are discovering the transformational power of relaxation for themselves, Nicola guides us on a journey to becoming relaxed women – women who have untangled their sense of worth from their productivity, who can rest without guilt and anxiety, who trust their intuitions, honour their needs and live by their deepest values.
Filled with simple rest rituals we can weave into our busy lives, healing practices to help regulate our nervous systems and practical strategies to support us in navigating the unavoidable stressors of life, this book is for all of us who long to live more restful, joyful and authentic lives.
