Hungry To Be Whole: A Therapist's Story of Healing from Anorexia by Brooke Wesle

The Nile on eBay   Hungry To Be Whole by Brooke Wesley, Maureen Rank

What may begin as a simple longing for a magazine-worthy body can morph into an eating disorder, a deadly disease with the highest mortality rate of any mental health disorder, and the highest suicide rate. Brooke Wesley knows this disease intimately. As a mental health therapist she intervenes daily with young women and men who struggle with eating disorders. But her conviction and compassion grew from her own bout with anorexia, one which nearly cost her her life. In Hungry To Be Whole, you'll share the journey of a high-achieving, radically determined teen who discovered in food deprivation a distraction from pain she didn't know how to manage. And you'll share with her the tough discoveries that led to a life filled with opportunity and joy.
