Overview
Full recovery from an eating disorder is possible. Despite common misconceptions, most individuals with anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating disorder can achieve lasting health and well-being. In this groundbreaking book, Aimee Liu brings together dozens of first-person recovery stories to create a compassionate and inspiring roadmap for healing.
Through these voices, readers learn how recovery begins, what it feels like, what supports and accelerates the process, and how to handle worries about relapse. Alongside these moving accounts are practical insights from leading professionals in the field, addressing critical issues such as choosing the right therapist, using medication wisely, exploring complementary therapies, and how family members can offer meaningful support.
Key Themes:
- Real-life recovery stories from diverse perspectives
- Professional insights on treatment, medication, and family support
- Encouragement for moving beyond fear of relapse
- Evidence that full recovery is not only possible but common
