"Interpersonal" follows twenty year old Erin after her stays in the
Intensive Outpatient Program for Eating Disorders at Stafford
Hospital. As she tries to navigate through life without acting on
eating disordered behaviors, readers are shown what's most
important in treatment: relationships between patient and
professional. While expressing her emotions and fears, her
treatment team explains things from their points of view. Just when
Erin becomes more comfortable in sharing her thoughts, an
unexpected change occurs, with the potential to derail her track in
recovery.
"I thought that once I had lost the weight, I would feel better
about myself and maybe I would be something special. Well, I have
lost weight, I do not feel better about myself, and I am still
nothing special." "Restricted" takes readers into the mind of a
nineteen year old girl named Erin. Brought on by the obsession over
weight and calories, and fueled by low self-esteem, she falls
victim to an eating disorder. The world she enters is a world where
thoughts are overrun by fears, lies are no longer fiction, and
reality is miles away. The healthy nineteen year old that used to
be is replaced by a weaker girl unable to keep up with her peers.
Erin's distorted thinking and actions eventually take a toll on her
body and mind. In order to get better, change is the only option.
The journey told starts during the height of the sickness and
follows Erin through the many challenges and lessons of treatment.
In order to start her process in recovery, she must face her
greatest fear: herself. Based on the author's own experiences,
Erin's story is not unique. There are millions around the world who
are living her story, still struggling to find their way.
