Biting the Hand That Starves You : Inspiring Resistance to Anorexia/Bulimia by Richard Maisel, David Epston & Alisa Borden

$70.00 NZD

Available Stock:
0

Category: For Sufferers

This important book immediately draws the reader into the world of those struggling with anorexia/bulimia (a/b), whose stories, poems, and first-person accounts expose the ‘voice’ of these deadly problems. The authors’ decade-and-a-half collaboration with ‘insiders’ has yielded fresh answers to these l ife and death questions: How does a/b seduce and terrorize girls and women? Why is a/b successful in encouraging girls and women to unwittingly embrace their would-be murderer? How can such a murderer be exposed and thwarted? Biting the Hand that Starves You details a unique way of thinking and speaking about anorexia/bulimia. By having conversations with insiders in which the problem is viewed as an external influence rather than a part of the person, these therapists show how to bring the tactics of a/b into the open, expose its deceptions, break its spell, and encourage defiance of its tyrannical rule. These innovations enable insiders, professionals, and loved ones to unite against anorexia/bulimia rather than allowing a/b to pit a professional or loved one against an insider, and the insider against herself. Coercion is sidestepped in favor of practices that are collaborative, accountable and spirit-nurturing. The groundbreaking discoveries outlined in this book will provide new options, inspiration and hope, not only for those who suffer at anorexia’s hands, but also for their loved ones and healthcare professionals. The first section of the book illuminates the means by which anorexia/bulimia insinuates itself into the lives of women and confines them to its prison. The second section focuses on how therapists and other helpers assist them to break the spell of a/b, creating possibilities for resisting and defying it. The third section of the book details a two-pronged strategy for reclaiming one's life from a/b. One method involves unmasking a/b by directly engaging with it through critique. The other method involves disengaging from anorexia in order fashion an ‘anti-a/b’ lifestyle guided by their own values and passions, even while they fear forsaking the promises of anorexia. Finally, the last section of the book addresses ways in which parents and other loved ones can ‘team up’ with insiders to fight against these lethal problems. This section includes a first-person account of a mother and father’s harrowing but ultimately triumphant effort to free their daughter from anorexia’s prison. Biting the Hand that Starves You draws to an unprecedented degree on the anti-anorexic/bulimic knowledge of ‘insider’ clients/collaborators to provide fresh insights into the workings of a/b and the means to overcome it. The knowledge of these authors and their insider collaborators, who speak poignantly and passionately on their own behalf, is sure to benefit all those affected by a/b. ...Show more

Mindful Diet: How to Transform Your Relationship to Food for Lasting Weight Loss and Vibrant Health by Ruth Wolever

$37.00 NZD

Available Stock:

Category: Eating Disorders

"Every year millions of people vow to lose weight and get healthy, but the largest roadblock to these changes are ingrained eating habits. Commercial diets not only fail to address the root of unhealthy behavior, but also damage self-worth, as adopters cycle through success and relapse in what can becom e a painful emotional spiral. Now, for the first time, two leading experts from the Duke Center for Integrative Medicine offer a new paradigm for eating and health - a step-by-step program that dismantles old patterns, provides new tools for making healthy choices, and fosters deep, internal motivation. Grounded in years of scientific research, The Mindful Diet examines how different foods and beverages effect our body on a biochemical level, and how we can become aware of our own internal signals through meditation. Instead of an all-or-nothing approach to health, where dieting becomes an exertion of willpower, The Mindful Diet focuses on the many variables that drive our habits, including stress levels, nutrition and exercise, relationships and even spirituality. Loaded with meditation exercises, behavioral techniques and food charts, this book provides the tools to avoid cravings, stop emotional overeating, identify when you are full and find time to exercise. By tapping into the root of unhealthy triggers, readers can reprogram their bodies, make healthy choices, lose weight and keep it off for life." ...Show more
