"Chronic Illness and Eating Disorders" by Tamie Gangloff is a must read and an insightful guide for both clients and clinicians. It explores how chronic illnesses can lead to disordered eating and discusses treatments like EMDR and CBT. Gangloff covers a wide range of topics, including lifelong and acquired illnesses, visible and invisible disabilities, sports injuries, chronic pain, and grief. She provides treatment recommendations that emphasize body neutrality and mindful approaches. Gangloff's personal journey of recovery from an eating disorder adds a powerful and inspiring touch to this essential read.

Excellent book!! Clinicians will gain so must insight for patients in treatment . Patients will gain information from a clinician that has shared lived experiences. I feel that this book has something for most people as Tamie Gangloff helps us as we advocate for ourselves through the medical web that many of us get stuck in.
