Hadley Freeman’s Good Girls is one of the most honest and insightful books I have read about eating disorders. Reflecting with unflinching candour on her own journey with anorexia it moves far beyond food and weight, exploring the emotional, relational, and psychological complexity that so often sits underneath these difficulties. Thoughtful, moving, and at times painfully relatable, it offers genuine understanding for sufferers, families, and professionals alike. A book I would highly recommend to anybody wanting a deeper understanding of eating disorders and the realities of recovery.



Why Love Matters by Sue Gerhardt

Sue Gerhardts book explores how early relationships shape the developing brain and influence how we relate to others, regulate emotions, and respond to stress. It offers thoughtful insight into later difficulties, including eating disorders and addiction, and how early experiences can continue to shape adult life.
