They say: Doreen Virtue has written a wonderful book that will truly help you break the damaging connection between emotional pain and overeating!
As a result of many years of therapeutic work with hundreds of clients, Dr Virtue came to understand how various degrees of psychological and physical abuse caused her clients to turn to food for comfort, security, and even self-punishment.

These illustrate the points that Virtue makes and has observed during her practise as a psychotherapist. Sexual abuse and the link that Virtue makes to subsequent over-eating is repeatedly referred to throughout. I feel that for those who have had this experience, the book could help the reader to gain more self-awareness and understanding in this area. I was a little disappointed that other forms of stress and abuse are mentioned to a lesser extent as I was expecting from the depiction on the book's cover notes. However, the general reader should still be able to glean some very useful points which may be applicable to many who are prone to over-eat at certain times in their life, whatever the root cause. On a couple of occasions, the case study examples acted as a trigger for a few realisations of my own and I found that it confirmed things I'd noticed about my own eating habits. The list of food cravings and what the body nutritionally needs I found to be particularly interesting in the latter section.
At the back of the book there is an extensive list of contact details for related organisations, all of them American though. Being a reader from the UK I thought it would have been useful to see more applicable listings, although website addresses are provided for a......more
