When healing meets the body, true recovery can begin.

When you're struggling with an eating disorder (anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder), it's a tall order to ask that you love your body unconditionally. After all, your body's sensations and needs may feel too intense, unpredictable, or even scary to face.

Written by expert eating disorder and embodiment therapist Catherine Cook-Cottone, for eating disorder survivors and therapists alike, The Disordered Eating Recovery Workbook is filled with over 100 healing practices to help readers learn to listen to, trust, and befriend their body.

Inside, you will learn how to:

Gain insight into the role your eating disorder has played in your life
Identify the roots of your hunger and symptoms (whether emotional, physical, relational, or all three)
Face your eating disorder with curiosity and compassion, rather than avoidance or judgment
Learn to see food and exercise as avenues for nourishment, rather than control and punishment
Find your path to lasting recovery and healing

As you learn to honor the role disordered eating has played in your life and see your body as a resource, you may even come to consider your body as a friend and ally--one you'll spend the rest of your life with.
