The Hungry Self

[new_day]

Hey :bowl!

I recently finished "The Hungry Self" by Kim Chernin.
Has anyone read this book? I thought it had a lot of good points. I really appreciated it and it helped me make some connections, especially about the relationship between my mother and I and how it relates to my ED.
I'd be curious if anyone had any thoughts about it.

Yes, I read this book of hers several years ago, in addition to another one of hers. She is an insightful author, despite that some of the information is outdated now...
I would need to glance through the book again before I can have an educated conversation about it, but I would be happy to do that. It would probably be good for me to do...

Peace,

A therapist suggested it to me several years ago, but I couldn't find a copy. If I remember correctly, it was out of print for a while. The T. thought the points about mother/daughter relationships would be helpful to me as well.
