Richard C. Schwartz, PhD, founder of the Internal Family Systems
Therapy model and author of Internal Family Systems Therapy "Amy's
book is a masterpiece! Her wisdom, compassion and passion flows
through every page. An engaging and powerful book that leads the
reader to the place where they can find the answers to a meaningful
and joyful life—deep within themselves! A must read for anyone
looking for a new, healthy and peaceful relationship with food.
Extremely well-written and helpful, this book will change your
life."
Linda Harper, PhD, clinical psychologist and author of Eat: A Guide
to Discovering Your Natural Relationship with Food and Give: A
Guide to Discovering the Everyday Joy of Giving "Both seasoned
eating disorder therapists and having recovered ourselves, Amy
Grabowski and I know the value of helping our patients understand
and transform the split off parts of themselves that have taken
control. Amy guides readers in using an Internal Family Systems
approach to distinguish their core "Self" from other split-off ego
states that have usurped control. The book’s step-by-step process,
case examples, and review questions assist sufferers in getting
their core "Self" back in charge, which is key to lasting
recovery."
