Publisher's Synopsis
With content and focus that's unique from the earlier books in the series: Thin Supremacy, Diet Supremacy, and Body Supremacy-in Surrendering Your Survival, author Robin Phipps Woodall describes what you'll need to sacrifice, accept, and consciously do to relieve the dark suffering of an eating disorder, in order to recover.Having recovered from an eating disorder herself, Robin wrote this book to speak to the heart of those who are inside that same dark psychological cage, and to give a voice to the suffering and terror experienced by those who are held captive to their eating disorder. Surrendering Your Survival not only provides clarity about what it will take to recover, but Robin also provides a strategy for relearning how to eat, and a scientific understanding for "why." If you are a therapist or coach that specializes in helping others with eating disorders, Surrendering Your Survival and the entire Thin Supremacy series is an essential tool for you, and for your clients.FROM THE AUTHOR ROBIN PHIPPS WOODALL: Surrendering Your Survival-A Conscious Path to Eating Disorder Recovery provides directions toward escaping the torments of eating disorder hell. In this book I speak from my own understanding of the torment and suffering of an eating disorder, and from my own experience escaping and recovery from it. I wrote Surrendering Your Survival to speak heart to heart with those who are inside the dark cage of their eating disorder. I articulate the survival terror experienced by those who are a prisoner to their disordered behaviors, and provide clarity about what it will take in order to willfully choose to surrender the safety that those behaviors supply. When reading this book, it will feel as if I'm sitting with you in that darkness, with compassion for why you are in such a state of terror and anguish, showing and describing the path you'll need to take in order to escape.Surrendering Your Survival describes what will need to be sacrificed, what has to be accepted, and the price that must be paid to take the path that leads to recovery. I give the reader a look into what recovery feels like, a method guided by the body to relearn a functional way to eat, and send a message of hope to those who are seeking freedom from an eating disorder.
