Consultant Psychiatrist Dr Chi-Chi Obuaya lends his clinical experience and knowledge, giving additional guidance and advice throughout.Learn about Hope's story, the myths about eating disorders, and where you may be in your own recovery. Look at the building blocks for a successful recovery, and the situations you may encounter in daily life that will challenge your recovery. Hope unpicks how to cope and learn from these experiences. Finally, she looks at the possibility of relapse, and how to deal with this if it happens to you. Read from beginning to end or dip in and out when you need extra support and help.
