Summary
This book is a thorough and clear workbook based on Dr. Parente’s first book:
Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrow. Saying goodbye to an eating problem.
This book guides the reader through the steps focused on in book 1, namely:
Acknowledgement of the Problem
Shame
Anger
Fear & Anxiety
Inner Voices
Belief/Acceptance
The major theme in both books deal with Loss and Grief. The understanding and underpinnings can both change the negative abusive relationship and act as a prevention model as well.
This workbook explores outcomes from psychotherapy groups which ran several years. It includes questionnaires, responses, exercises, and treatment tools from said groups, AS you answer the questions noted and read responses from group members, hopefully a better understanding of this issue will help the reader work through your own issues about this subject. In addition, Dr. Parente includes information on various treatment modalities as well as the importance to understand and set up a healthy food plan, one in which food is no longer the enemy but rather something positive.
