Unpack Your Eating Disorder
Unpack Your Eating Disorder isn’t just another self-help book—it’s a lifeline for adolescents facing the isolation, fear, and confusion of Anorexia Nervosa and Atypical Anorexia Nervosa.
Created by experienced clinicians and grounded in evidence-based practice, this powerful resource gives young people something they rarely receive in treatment: a voice.
Through compassionate guidance, Unpack Your Eating Disorder helps adolescents understand what’s happening to them, make sense of their inner world, and rediscover who they are beyond the illness.
It’s a book that says: You are more than your eating disorder. You are allowed to take up space, to feel, to hope—and to heal.
A Transformative Resource for Adolescents in Recovery
“Unpack Your Eating Disorder” is a powerful and practical book created specifically for adolescents navigating the challenges of Anorexia Nervosa and Atypical Anorexia Nervosa.
Grounded in evidence-based practice and shaped by decades of clinical experience, this book offers adolescents the tools to understand their illness, reconnect with their identity, and begin the journey toward true psychological and physical recovery. It helps young people recognise that they are more than their eating disorder—and that they don’t need it in order to cope, achieve, or belong.
With accessible language and a compassionate tone, the book guides adolescents to:
- Build awareness of the traits and emotions that fuel the illness
- Learn to stand up to anorexia instead of remaining captive to it
- Develop confidence in their ability to heal and grow
- Discover strategies to navigate the daily challenges of recovery
This book also supports parents and carers by helping them better understand the internal experience of their child and how to effectively support them. For clinicians, it offers practical guidance and therapeutic strategies tailored to the adolescent experience.
Whether you’re a young person in treatment, a parent, or a professional, Unpack Your Eating Disorder is an essential companion in the recovery process.
