This is no ordinary book on how to overcome an eating disorder. The
authors bravely share their unique stories of suffering from and
eventually overcoming their own severe eating disorders. Interweaving
personal narrative with the perspective of their own therapist-client
relationship, their insights bring an unparalleled depth of awareness
into just what it takes to successfully beat this challenging and
seemingly intractable clinical issue.
For anyone who has suffered, their family and friends, and other helping
professionals, this book should be by your side. With great compassion
and clinical expertise, Costin and Grabb walk readers through the ins
and outs of the recovery process, describing what therapy entails,
clarifying the common associated emotions such as fear, guilt, and
shame, and, most of all, providing motivation to seek help if you have
been discouraged, resistant, or afraid. The authors bring
self-disclosure to a level not yet seen in an eating disorder book and
offer hope to readers that full recovery is possible.
