Advice From Two Therapists Who Have Been There

I recently finished reading The Inside Scoop On Eating Disorder Recovery by Colleen Reichmann and Jennifer Rollin.

*POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT* Rating: 3.75/5 stars "The Inside Scoop on Eating Disorder Recovery is a fresh, smart, how-to book that helps people with eating disorders to heal their relationship with food, their bodies, and ultimately themselves. Written from the perspective of two eating disorder therapists, both of whom are recovered from their own eating disorders, the text uses humor, personal narratives, and research-proven techniques to offer specific actionable guidelines on how to reclaim one’s life from an eating disorder. The authors explain the difference between dieting and eating disorders, break down the stages of recovery, and provide tips on how to thrive in each stage. The book provides powerful myth-busting on topics that have historically not been addressed in eating disorder recovery books, such as clean eating and orthorexia, exercising in recovery, and fat positivity. Tangible exercises at the end of each chapter provide readers with advice and tips on implementing this approach to recovery in their day-to-day lives. The humorous and down-to-earth tone of the book creates an authentic and genuine feel that leaves those who struggle with chronic dieting, eating disorders, and negative body image feeling connected and heard."

This is a very informative book. However if you are further along in your ED recovery or are just generally well informed on eating disorders, then this book may not be completely relevant to you. Still a good read though, even if the writing is a bit cheesy at times lol. I especially liked the addition of the authors’ own stories that were woven throughout the book. Check out The Inside Scoop on Eating Disorder Recovery, and learn more about the impact of recovery from an eating disorder. Happy Reading :)
