dreamdoughnut's review against another edition
3.0
My therapist suggested this book and, to be honest, it was triggering to me. Before I get into why, I will say that I was engaged with the book, it was helpful to see positive stories of recovery, and I liked the sections written by professionals interspersed between the letters. I am going to talk about my ED because I hope it might be helpful.
The majority of stories were by women with anorexia/bulimia. I had anorexia that has turned into BED. I just felt guilty that I wasn’t “as sick” as the people in the book. I know this weird competitiveness is common in the ED community. I feel that this book is more for people with those disorders to inspire them pursue recovery.
