Resumen del Editor

This is no ordinary book on how to overcome an eating disorder. The authors bravely share their unique stories of suffering from and eventually overcoming their own severe eating disorders. Interweaving personal narrative with the perspective of their own therapist-client relationship, their insights bring an unparalleled depth of awareness into just what it takes to successfully beat this challenging and seemingly intractable clinical issue. For anyone who has suffered, their family and friends, and other helping professionals, this book should be by your side. With great compassion and clinical expertise, Carolyn Costin and Gwen Schubert Grabb walk listeners through the ins and outs of the recovery process, describing what therapy entails, clarifying the common associated emotions such as fear, guilt, and shame and, most of all, providing motivation to seek help if you have been discouraged, resistant, or afraid. The authors bring self-disclosure to a level not yet seen in an eating disorder book and offer hope that full recovery is possible.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Carolyn Costin was my eating disorder therapist, and I credit her with my recovery. 8 Keys gives the reader the same insight, inspiration, and tools that Carolyn gave to me. It's straightforward, well-written, and allows the reader to actively participate in her own recovery. I highly recommend it to anyone who is struggling with an eating disorder." (Portia de Rossi)

Amazing Life Changer!

This book is a MUST have for anyone struggling with eating disorders. I’ve had ED for 22 years & have finally been able to abstain from it through the keys beautifully & lovingly laid out in this book. It gives simple yet sometimes mind blowing directions on how to live without ED & even how I may have started ED in the first place. I love myself infinitely more after reading this. I am so grateful these authors cared enough for the ED community to share pieces of their heart through personal testimony & well-researched benefits to stopping ED. Thank you ladies!

A Life Saver for those with an Eating Disorder

if you, or someone you know, has an eating disorder, this book could be a Life Saver - literally. and it works perfectly with the online Recovery Group, Eating Disorders Anonymous.

I highly recommend both of them.

True meat for recovery

We listened to this book to get a better understanding of our son’s challenge with anorexia, and for how it might help him heal, as his therapist had recommended it and he was reading it as well. What a wonderful book!! It contains a wealth of “meaty” ideas and exercises, not just empty words. If any book can help someone with an eating disorder, this one can. It is compassionate and also realistic, and is written by two woman who have themselves recovered. The narration is excellent.

Read it! My 14 yr old daughter has anorexia

And we have read many books on the topic. All good and helpful. I think this is the best. Our daughter read it as well.

Therapist currently working with ED

Great resource book! Use a great deal of the assignments and offer my hard copy to patients. I work in residential/inpatient setting. Would highly recommend!

Great

This was a great book. Lots of good information. A must read for anyone dealing with an eating disorder.

Outdated and triggering

Don’t bother with this book it is very outdated and contains no factual scientific information

Great book but missing writing assignments

It is a great book but I’d like to have the writing assignments as an attachment to the audible copy.

It's for binge/purge sufferers

It's well written and narrated, but I wish it wasn't so narrowly focused on the binge/purge cycle. Not everyone with an eating disorder is a purger
