Recenzje

"Required reading! Through personal stories and professional expertise, Amy and Chevese offer a powerful psychological and weight-inclusive understanding of Binge Eating Disorder. It's imperative that professionals understand how to help their clients who struggle with out-of-control eating, and that the millions of people who struggle with BED lose the shame and blame that can accompany this diagnosis. Binge Eating Disorder offers these solutions."

-Judith Matz, LCSW, co-author of The Diet Survivor's Handbook and Beyond a Shadow of a Diet

"As pioneers in the BED community, Amy and Chevese bring an extraordinary combination of professional and personal wisdom to this field. With profound awareness of the many intersecting factors that can negatively impact recovery, they effectively dispel entrenched myths and offer extensive information and resources for advocacy and support, and ultimately, hope for healing. This book is a gift to anyone seeking freedom from BED and a valuable resource for those who care for them."

-Anita Johnston, PhD, author of Eating in the Light of the Moon and director of 'Ai Pono Eating Disorder Programs, Hawaii

"Amy and Chevese share their perspectives from decades of experience with Binge Eating Disorder, from survival strategies to recovery; both personal and clinical, solo and community. Their wisdom makes this book rich, rare, and soulful. May we all have access to the communities led by Chevese and access to therapists like Amy."

-Deb Burgard, PhD, FAED, licensed psychologist in private practice
