More now on my copy editing saga for Healing Your Hungry Heart, my self help eating disorder recovery book. Now I'm working on the edits for the chapter on secrets.
Every page is a challenge! As I get into the comments from my brilliant editor I discover that I've been holding back in my writing because of my conditioning as a psychotherapist. Good grief. I'm writing about how, when you have an eating disorder, you accumulate the terrible burden of secrets. Moreover, I'm writing about how those secrets reinforce fear and shame that underlie an eating disorder.
