Self-Help book:
Breaking Negative Eating Patterns and Remembering Your True Self
You're More Than Your Eating Disorder
If you have ever felt that your eating difficulties are about much more than food, you are not alone. For many people, eating disorders and body image struggles are closely connected to deeper patterns of self-criticism, shame, perfectionism, emotional disconnection, and unmet emotional needs. Breaking Negative Eating Patterns and Remembering Your True Self was written to help you understand these patterns with compassion, rather than blame, and to discover the person beneath the eating disorder.
A Whole-Self Approach to Healing
Grounded in Schema Therapy and informed by attachment, developmental and trauma research, the book offers a whole-self approach to recovery. Through practical exercises, worksheets, guided reflections and experiential techniques, you will learn to recognise the emotional needs and protective coping patterns that may have become organised around eating and body image. Step by step, the book helps you develop a kinder relationship with yourself, strengthen your Healthy Adult (Wise Self), and build new ways of meeting your emotional needs.
A Compassionate Companion for Recovery
Whether you are beginning your recovery journey, have been struggling for many years, or are using the book alongside therapy, Breaking Negative Eating Patterns and Remembering Your True Self is designed to be a compassionate companion. It can also be a valuable resource for family members and clinicians who want to better understand the emotional world that often lies beneath eating difficulties. If you would like to explore recovery from a whole-self perspective, I hope this book will become a source of understanding, encouragement and hope.
