Читать книгу Healing Your Hungry Heart - Joanna Poppink - Страница 2

“Joanna Poppink's Healing Your Hungry Heart answers two questions I frequently hear from troubled eaters: ‘How do I begin my recovery?’ and ‘What can I do to sustain it?’ Her chapter on the warning signs of an eating disorder is especially helpful for those who aren't sure if their relationship with food is unhealthy or not. Other chapters gently guide the reader in an exploration of what is needed to recover from deregulated eating—mindfulness, self-reflection, honesty, bona fide emotional nourishment, and daily practices for skill acquisition and moving toward true fulfillment. I would certainly recommend this book to my clients and students.”

—Karen R. Koenig, LCSW, MEd, author of The Food and Feelings Workbook and Nice Girls Finish Fat

“Finally—a book that speaks beyond the stereotype of eating disorders as the ‘little girl's disease,’ reaching out to women who have lived with these devastating disorders for years, and offering practical, sound, and insightful advice on how to begin, and sustain, real recovery.”
