This is no ordinary book on how to overcome an eating disorder. The writers bravely share their particular stories of suffering from and finally overcoming their very own severe consuming disorders. Interweaving personal narrative using the perspective of their personal therapist-client relationship, their insights provide an unrivaled depth of consciousness into just what it takes to successfully beat this complicated and apparently intractable clinical concern.

For anyone that has suffered, their family and friends, and other helping experts, this book ought to be with you. With great compassion and clinical expertise, Carolyn Costin and Gwen Schubert Grabb walk listeners through the ins and outs of the recovery process, explaining what therapy entails, clarifying the common associated emotions such as dread, guilt, and pity, and, primarily, providing motivation to get help if you have been discouraged, resistant, or scared. The authors bring self-disclosure to a level not yet observed in an eating disorder book and offer hope that complete recovery is possible.
