Description
Geneen Roth explores the complex relationship between eating and intimacy in this thought-provoking book.
Drawing on her own experiences and those of her clients, Roth examines how dieting and emotional eating can become substitutes for human connection. She delves into issues such as the need for control, dependency on melodrama, and the desire to satisfy forbidden desires.
This book offers a message of hope: that change is possible and that readers can break destructive patterns to learn to satisfy their physical and emotional needs in a healthier way.
