For Parents Navigating an Eating Disorder Crisis
​
Many parents contact me after suddenly realizing their child may have an eating disorder.
Sometimes it begins with a doctor mentioning medical risk. Other times eating, exercise, or weight loss escalates quickly and families find themselves trying to understand what is happening and what to do next.
My role is to help families slow things down, understand the medical and behavioral realities of eating disorders, and navigate recovery with thoughtful guidance alongside medical and therapeutic care.
Books that had a powerful impact on me during recovery.
I personally recommend these books to anyone on the healing journey.
8 Keys to Recovery from an Eating Disorder
Effective Strategies from Therapeutic Practice and Personal Experience by Carolyn Costin

Interweaving personal narrative with the perspective of their own therapist-client relationship, their insights bring an unparalleled depth of awareness into just what it takes to successfully beat this challenging and seemingly intractable clinical issue.

8 Keys to Recovery from an Eating Disorder Workbook
Effective Strategies from Therapeutic Practice and Personal Experience by Carolyn Costin
8 Keys to Recovery from an Eating Disorder was lauded as a "brave and hopeful book" as well as "remarkably readable."

The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle
To make the journey into The Power of Now you need to leave your analytical mind and its false created self, the ego, behind. Access to the Now is everywhere - in the body, the silence, and the space all around you. These are the keys to enter a state of inner peace. They can be used to bring you into the Now, the present moment, where problems do not exist. It is here you find your joy and are able to embrace your true self. It is here you discover that you are already complete and perfect.
