Opis

Illuminating Anorexia tells the story of Michelle's journey through anorexia, EDNOS and binge-eating to find "a self worth living for" and is told from the unique perspective of one who is both insider and long-term recovered health professional. First person narrative (including diary entries and case notes) places the reader firmly in Michelle's teenage shoes, with the gentle oversight and commentary of her older, wiser (recovered) self who can now SEE and articulate what was impossible then. Michelle illuminates the predisposing and maintaining factors in her eating disorder, the conflict at the heart of her struggle with food and weight, the voices at war within her, the impact on self and family, and the factors that both hindered and propelled her along the difficult road to recovery. Told with compassion and insight, Illuminating Anorexia sheds light on the path into and out of an eating disorder for those who struggle, and for those who care for them. It has received excellent reviews from sufferers, carers and health professionals.
