Harriet Brown's memoir Brave Girl Eating: A Family's Struggle With Anorexia is a must-read for anyone looking to better understand eating disorders after last week's episode “RINSE, REPEAT and Eating Disorders.”  The book serves as a fitting companion to Domenica Feraud's Off-Broadway play Rinse, Repeat. Though the drama portrays a family's struggle with this disease, the main perspective is Rachel's. In our panel last episode, Domenica and expert Johanna Kandel shared personal experiences as people who have struggled with an eating disorder; Dr. Mae Lynn Reyes-Rodriguez offered the point of view of a researcher and clinician who specializes in eating disorders. In Brave Girl Eating, the perspective is that of a mother trying to help her daughter survive this mental illness. Hear more about the book and what you'll glean from reading it.

Why is it so hard to treat eating disorders? We're going to find out today in this interview with Johanna Kandel, founder and director of the National Alliance for Eating Disorders.Kandel brings her own successful recovery from anorexia and bulimia to this interview whose message is that full recovery is possible. She's the author of book "Life Beyond Your Eating Disorder, but in her establishment of a thriving clinician-led service organization, she stresses that you can free yourself from identifying with the disorder - and then become it. Eating disorders can far too easily become who you are.Kandel seeks to empower readers by sharing her own past—how her youthful perfectionism and aspirations to become a ballerina fueled her need to control and numb her emotions, which stoked her disorder. She also offers practical advice: “My eating disorder gave me carte blanche not to have to do things that scared me: I didn't have to feel . . . Basically, it protected me . . . from life.”I loved this conversation. As someone with a history of anorexia myself, it gave me another chance to speak to my own vulnerability.Advertiser's Link and Special Offer:Have you been putting off getting help?
