Praise for THE FOOD AND FEELINGS WORKBOOK

“For people struggling with eating disorders, being able to understand, tolerate, and learn from one’s feelings is the key to recovery. Many books tell people to ‘feel their feelings,’ but few fully explain why and how to do this. I am thrilled to discover The Food and Feelings Workbook, which directly addresses working with feelings in an accessible and thorough way.”
—Rivka Simmons, Psychotherapist and Founder of the program Have Your Cake and Eat It Too! A Gentle Approach to Food Your Body and Yourself

“This workbook is filled with wonderful thoughts and ideas that would be helpful for anyone struggling with food and body image issues. Karen presents a step-by-step guide for people struggling with these issues in a commonsense and practical manner. In a lighthearted way, she helps us to stop and identify our feelings in order to be successful in our recovery. While many books stop there, Karen takes us beyond that and provides the tools to actually achieve full recovery. The style of the book is relaxed and supportive and can be read in chapters or just a bit at a time. I expect people to relish the contents of this book. It is a keeper.”
—Beth Mayer, LICSW, Executive Director, Massachusetts Eating Disorder Association

“Emotions need to be navigated, rather than avoided or medicated. But how does one learn? The Food and Feelings Workbook is an important guide to recovery for the emotional eater.”
—Linda Moran, author of How to Survive Your Diet

"Karen tackles the complex relationship between eating and emotions head on! Her advice and non-intimidating style will be welcomed by those who have struggled for years with 'expert advice' for their eating-related issues."
—Audrey Ades, LICSW, ACSW, Psy.D.
