would find useful and it could form the basis for a programme that
client and counselor tackled together."

"Carolyn Costin was my eating disorder therapist, and I credit her
with my recovery. 8 Keys to Recovery from an Eating Disorder 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*
"Carolyn Costin is the first person who ever looked me in the eyes
and said, 'You can be fully recovered from your eating disorder.'
In 8 Keys to Recovery, she and Gwen Grabb say just that. Even
better, they provide real wisdom and guidance on how to actually
find that freedom. I highly recommend this book!"
*Jenni Schaefer, author of Goodbye Ed, Hello Me and Life Without
Ed*
"In 8 Keys to Recovery Costin and Grabb courageously disclose
details of their own eating disorder histories, and also engage in
revealing dialogue about Grabb’s successful (if sometimes
difficult) treatment by Costin. In doing so, they expose the most
intimate challenges of living with and healing an eating disorder
both personally and professionally. Costin and Grabb enlighten the
reader with the knowledge they gained from failure as well as
success, literally, from the inside out."
*Babette Rothschild, author of 8 Keys to Trauma Recovery Trauma
Essentials and The Body Remembers*
"Costin and Grabb support their clients so they can learn to accept
and understand instead of always having to fight their illness.
Their keys are clear and flexible."
*PsychCentral*
"By the time I got to the third key, I had stopped writing down
highlights for this review because the value of this book is
greater than the sum of the eight individual keys. Not only do I
believe this book can be extremely helpful to someone suffering
from an eating disorder, but I believe it could be helpful for
other practitioners who are not specialized in eating
disorders."
*Dietsinreview.com*
"This brave and hopeful book melds difficult personal narrative
with the intimacies of a therapist-client relationship…The book not
only offers great insight into how to beat this formidable
illness/addiction, but supplies the motivation to do so. It should
be in the hands of everyone who suffers from this affliction,
directly or indirectly."
