At the root of bulimia is a need to feel in control. While
purging is a strategy for controlling weight, bingeing is an
attempt to calm depression, stress, shame, and even boredom. The
Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Workbook for Bulimia offers new
and healthy ways to overcome the distressing feelings and negative
body-image beliefs that keep you trapped in this cycle.
In this powerful program used by therapists, you'll learn four
key skill sets-mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation,
and interpersonal effectiveness-and begin using them right away to
manage bulimic urges. The book includes worksheets and exercises
designed to help you take charge of your emotions and end your
dependence on bulimia. You'll also learn how to stay motivated and
committed to ending bulimia instead of reverting to old behaviors.
Used together, the skills presented in this workbook will help you
begin to cope with uncomfortable feelings in healthy ways, empower
you to feel good about nourishing your body, and finally gain true
control over your life.
"This self-help workbook is an excellent tool to help alleviate
bulimia nervosa symptoms. It is also a useful guide for the
practitioner who is assisting the patient in his or her quest to
overcome an eating disorder. I highly recommend this workbook to
sufferers and mental health professionals alike."
-Daniel le Grange, Ph.D., professor and director of the eating
disorders program at the University of Chicago
"I never knew how to ride the rollercoaster of life without
resorting to bingeing until dialectical behavior therapy helped to
change my behavior and my life."
-Sharon, client of coauthor Ellen Astrachan-Fletcher
