It’s straigh� orward, well-wri� en, and allows the reader to ac� vely par� cipate in her own recovery. I highly recommend it to anyone who is struggling with an ea� ng disorder.” —Por� a de Rossi “Carolyn Cos� n is the fi rst person who ever looked me in the eyes and said, You can be fully recovered from your ea� ng disorder. In 8 Keys to Recovery from an Ea� ng Disorder, she and Gwen Grabb say just that. Even be� er, they provide real wisdom and guidance on how to actually fi nd that freedom. I highly recommend this book!”—Jenni Schaefer, author of Goodbye Ed, Hello Me and Life Without Ed This is no ordinary book on how to overcome an ea� ng disorder. The authors— one a former pa� ent of the other, now a therapist herself—both have their own histories ba� ling their own torturous versions of an ea� ng disorder. Interweav- ing personal narra� ve with the perspec� ve of their own therapist-client rela� on- ship, their insights bring an unparalleled depth of awareness into just what it takes to successfully beat this chal- lenging and seemingly intractable clinical issue. With great compassion and clinical exper� se, Cos� n and Grabb walk readers through the ins and outs of the recovery process, describing what therapy entails, clarifying the common associated emo� ons such as fear, guilt, and shame, and, most of all, providing mo� va� on to seek help if you have been discouraged, resistant, or afraid. The authors bring self-disclosure to a level not yet seen in an ea� ng disorder book and off er hope to readers that full recovery is possible. The book’s publica� on coincides with a na� onwide fi lm tour promo� ng the release of “America the Beau� ful II: The Thin Commandments”, a follow-up to the popular documentary “America The Beau� ful: Is America Ob- sessed with Beauty?”. In the fi lm, Carolyn speaks out about America’s obsession with weight, our relentless pur- suit of thinness, and the collateral damage that results. The fi lm will premiere in New York City on Wednesday, October 12 at The Quad Cinema and in Los Angeles on Friday, October 14 at The Laemmle Sunset Theater. More ci� es to follow.
