Eating Disorder Awareness: Hope, Help & Healing for Eating Disorders [BOOK]

If you or someone you know is living with an eating disorder, help and hope is out there. Every day at The Center for Counseling and Health Resources, we see men, women and adolescents changing their lives for good through our unique treatment program that emphasizes whole-person health -- mentally, physically, emotionally, relationally and spiritually. It is the success of this approach that inspired my book, Hope, Help & Healing for Eating Disorders: A Whole-Person Approach to Anorexia, Bulimia and Disordered Eatiing.

I recently received the following note from a woman who found hope and help in the pages of this book. Perhaps it can do the same for you:

"About four months ago, I was in a second-hand store called Yard Sale, a mainly church-run store. I usually go for office supplies, but wanted to take a look in the back. I came across your book. I read this book practically daily. 

"God has shown me that the only way to walk about a healthy lifestyle is to be hearing his voice, down to the nit and gritty of every task. It's hard, but through the client stories, I understand now, that my toxic past, toxic parents and memories have no control over me if I don't let it bind me be an emotional overeater. 

"A few years back I was severely depressed about weight and had given up hope. I asked God, why do I live? If I live like this, I choose not to live.

"I have grown up to accept the person inside so it reflects on the outside."I just need to listen and obey.

"Praise Jesus and all the glory."

Of course, this book is intended only as a supplement to the professional help that should be sought for an eating disorder. Whether it is through The Center or another treatment program, help and hope is out there. You need only take the first step and believe.
