Press Reviews
Sophie Corbett, Eating Disorder Dietitian, @cornonthecorb
An invaluable resource for those in eating disorder recovery, this guide is compassionate, insightful, and brimming with Cara's wisdom. As an eating disorder dietitian, I will be sharing this with my clients and their families.
Hannah Hickinbotham, Founder of Full of Beans
I truly wish I had this book the 400th time I attempted recovery. Each chapter of Cara's book delicately takes you through the challenging stages of recovery, offering tips, words of wisdom, and relatable stories. Cara's words remind you that others truly understand, and you are never alone. If you're considering recovery, let Cara be the friend who's with you every step of the way.
Dr Chukwuemeka Nwuba, mental health doctor and editor of Eating Disorders Don’t Discriminate
Leveraging her lived experience of anorexia nervosa, as well as her many years advocating and campaigning for better outcomes for those across the spectrum of eating disorders, Cara has created a book that shines. Your Guide to Eating Disorder Recovery is illuminating, and is sure to act as a companion through the often treacherous journey of recovery. It's an honest, pragmatic and discerning offering which will no doubt be considered an oasis of hope in the dry desert of desperation and despair that recovery all too often is.
