Overview

A much-needed guide for adults on how to tackle an eating disorder and rebuild a healthy relationship with food.

This approach works across all eating disorder diagnoses—in conjunction with medical and psychological treatment—and helps individuals: Break free from the physical and psychological traps of an eating disorder; Learn how to plate meals and snacks without measuring or counting; Heal their relationship with their body and repair their body image; Eat flexibly, paving the way to intuitive eating and a renewed sense of joy around food.
