Includes the "Recovery
Workbook", "Body Image Gone Amis", and "250+ Alternatives to Relapse" (downloadable versions) @ a cost of $9.95!
This
is a workbook created for both clinicians and clients. It contains 142 copyable worksheets covering a variety of topics that lie beneath disordered eating
behavior. The worksheets enhance the therapeutic process by allowing the client to explore more deeply issues that may
apply to their particular situations.
As in the homework from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy this workbook allows the client to further their therapeutic
process outside of treatment appointments. The worksheets often provide the therapist or client further areas needing
to be explored. The design of the worksheet assists the client to process through issues but also provides some closure
for the client and provides empowerment through education.
This workbook may well serve as a 'must
have'for therapists working/specializing in the treatment of Eating
Disorders. It was designed following a longitudinal research study studying focussing on the role 'shame' plays
in the development and sustaining of disordered eating patterns, negative self image, & the harsh internal critic that
destroys self-esteem.
Examples
of topics include: 'Cognitive Distortions', 'What is This Bad Feeling Anyway?', 'Internal
& External Locus of Control', 'Relapse', 'Holidays', & 'Feelings Uninhibited'.

'Is It Low Self Esteem or Shame?'
- D. Kuehnel, LCSW
After 29+ years of directly
helping eating disorder clients into recovery the one consistant theme that bridges everyone suffering is shame. After
completing a longitudinal research study on the affect of shame and eating disorders with a group of 174 ED participants it
was proven that Shame contributes significantly to the development of eating disorders. Shame, defined as a sense of
not-good-enoughness, worthless, ineffective and flawed as a human being without the propensity of change impacts
every eating disorder sufferer. It drowns the individual in an obsessional world of lowered self esteem rendering the
person incapable of taking care of oneself emotionally ruining relationships, distorting reality and causing significant emotional
pain. $5.50
