Regaining Your Self


Book Description

You are not what you don't eat. Never has there been a mental disorder so controversial in the theories surrounding its causes, treatments, and recovery than that of the eating disorder. Its mysterious nature, onset, and lack of predictability make this an elusive epidemic that causes frustration and fear in those who are afflicted and those who love and treat them. This is exactly why patients, families, and treatment professionals need to be privy to the observations of one of the foremost eating disorder specialists in the world and bestselling author of Dying to Be Thin, Ira M. Sacker, M.D. It is he who continues to be at the forefront of true treatment breakthroughs, the latest of which is evidenced in his latest book Regaining Your Self. Over the last several decades, as theories and books circulated and speculated on whether it is perfectionism, trauma, genetics/biology, or social pressures of the media that has caused the rapid spread of anorexia, bulimia, and related disorders, Dr. Sacker was busy making a breakthrough in identifying the true culprit in eating disorders—The Eating Disorder Identity. With Eating Disorder Identities victims attach to their disorder and view it as part of who they are, ultimately coming to identify with that persona exclusively. (Sometimes individuals will even name the disease "Ana," "Mia," or "Ed," in order to personify the new identity.) Just as a musician cannot live without his instruments, an eating disorder individual will feel inauthentic and lost if ever they give up their eating disorder, contributing to a higher rate of relapse. In Regaining Your Self, Dr. Sacker explains the phenomenon of the Eating Disorder Identity and describes why this is the least identified concept in traditional treatment methods, yet most detrimental aspect of the disorder. Further, Sacker explains how in an attempt to substitute their former identity, many eating disorder patients adopt their eating disorder as a more acceptable definition of who they are; therefore blurring the lines between their disorder and their self. Like any thing that is viewed as intrinsic, the eating disorder becomes nearly impossible to cut off and turn away from. To combat this crisis, Sacker lays out his effective program called PIRT or Personal Interaction Rational Therapy, which assists families, clinicians, medical doctors, and therapists in identifying the issue of identity (the lack of one, the disdain for the one they have) exhibited by patients and offers them techniques on replacing the eating disorder identity with a new and healthier one—the major component in facilitating recovery. In addition, Dr. Sacker created a brand-new workbook section exclusively for this paperback edition, which offers both interactive and introspective exercises to help treatment professionals and patients successfully execute the bold new approach of Regaining Your Self.

Your Personal Truth


Book Description

Discover Your Truths & Fulfill Your Dreams If you have ever doubted yourself, your life’s path, beliefs, or questioned what is True, prepare to illuminate the path to Your Personal Truth. This is the best path. It is the one you are called for and that you must go on, or you will be left feeling unfulfilled, as if you missed out on something essential from life. We all have our unique journey to live, and nothing is more worthy than pursuing this path for yourself. The point of this book is not to impose any particular beliefs, ideas, philosophies, or Truths on you. Instead, the focus is on helping you find your truth in a way that allows you to achieve your dreams and goals. Can you think of something that you know to be True without any doubt? When you know something to be True, it becomes a deep part of your life, and you know it to be true with your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, experience, logic, and intuition, then you can get to a point where no one can take this Truth away from you. The only one who can release yourself from an old Truth that is no longer working and replace it with a new and more valid one is yourself. With Your Personal Truth, you can regain control of your life’s direction and take the power you have always had but perhaps never realized, which is the power to determine what is true for you and what is not. Ultimately, Truth is a journey, not a destination. When you choose to walk this path, you will unlock deeper parts of yourself, discover your highest ideals and values, find purpose, and live by your truth with every thought and action. Internationally bestselling author I. C. Robledo discovered that his path was to seek Truth at 16 years of age. Since then, he has been searching for truth, and now he wishes to teach you how to discover Your Personal Truth. This endeavor has led to meaning, a transcendent level of awareness and understanding, self-knowledge, and the ability to focus on worthy paths and avoid false ones. Inside, you will learn to: - Discover your truths, rather than waiting for someone to give them to you, which would be a mistake - Identify critical values that are worth living by (with a list of 100 values to consider) - Unlock the deepest parts of yourself by remembering, uncovering, recovering, discovering, and creating yourself - See that there are infinite truths in the universe, and we must choose the ones that work for us - Communicate with a version of yourself that is 20-30 years older (via an imaginative exercise) to help unlock your best life path - Perceive a scale of lies, and see that some lies are worse than others - Test your truths to see which ones are valid and which ones were just faulty assumptions - Move toward the paths that lead to confidence, awareness, happiness, and growth, and move away from the paths that lead to negativity, pain, and feelings of being lost. This book is a one-of-a-kind practical resource for better living. At the end of every chapter, you will find key questions and an activity to ensure that you benefit from the lessons. Learn to live by your Truth and become the best version of yourself with Your Personal Truth. Your Personal Truth will help you to discover the truth for yourself, to peel away the falseness and lies around you, and see the reality as it actually is. There is the false, then there is the real and whole truth, and we must learn to see it for ourselves. If you are attracted to what is truly true, real, genuine, actual, and the universe as it is, and accepting it and working with that rather than being in denial, then this book is for you. Only harm comes from denying the truth of this life, so that is to be avoided. We should avoid lying and liars, as this just moves us away from the reality as it is. Did you know that what you believe can affect your personal truth? Whether you are a believer in something or not can determine whether it will manifest and become the reality of your life. Truth is what the universe wants us to see. It is in love and in our everyday being, if we just open our eyes to it. Truth seekers are quite rare, but necessary in this world that has much nonsense, noise, and chaos (or perhaps even bullshit). Is finding truth in the cards for you? Was it ever something to be found, anyway? Explore such ideas here. Sometimes people can be brainwashed and not even know - it is vital then to pursue our own truth, to avoid this ever happening. This book is ideal for thoughtful, spiritual, and introspective (or possibly introverted) souls. It is also useful for those who have been searching for and seeking the truth but struggled to find it. Your Personal Truth will surely benefit life coaches, mental health counselors, advisors, therapists, psychologists, and other leaders as well as their clients. If you are pursuing or looking for truth, this book will help to open up a truthful Tao, way, or path for you. (If you are concerned, I do not claim to give you the truth, but just to open up a way for you to find it for yourself.) Understand that whether God, holiness, a deity or deities, or religion plays an important role in your life or not, this book makes no claims to contain the truth, but rather, will help you discover it or rediscover it for yourself. I do not hold the truth. You do. Arrive to your enlightenment, understanding, awakening, and greater insights. Similar authors you may have enjoyed include Mark Manson, Jordan B.
