Breaking Negative Eating Patterns and Remembering Your True Self

This book is a practical self-help manual that provides step-by-step guidance on applying schema therapy for eating disorders and eating difficulties grounded in Schema Therapy. Structured in two parts, the book addresses how to overcome the thinking, emotional, and behavioural patterns that drive eating difficulties, using powerful experiential strategies for change. It helps readers understand the factors that drive and maintain their eating and body image patterns and offers effective techniques for overcoming them. Readers will learn to reconnect with their true self that lies beneath these protective patterns, discovering new ways to meet their deepest needs. Templates and worksheets provide useful resources that support recovery. The first of its kind, this book supports those suffering from eating disorders and serves as a reference and adjunct to face-to-face therapy for therapists and clinicians.
