Tabitha Farrar Knihy

Rehabilitate, Rewire, Recover! focuses on: - Nutritional rehabilitation to heal the body and "turn off" the anorexia response. - Neural rewiring to shift neural pathways of restriction, exercise compulsions, and anorexia-generated thoughts and behaviours in the brain. Using experience from her own recovery, and accounts from adults whom she has worked with as a recovery coach, Tabitha Farrar takes you through the process of building your own, personalised, recovery. As well as non-traditional ideas and concepts, this book delivers a "Toolkit" to help with the neural rewiring process, and action-based ideas to help you eat without restriction.

Tabitha Farrar became ill with anorexia at seventeen. She describes her ten year struggle with the disease and dispels many myths about eatings disorders. As an adult with an eating disorder she describes her struggles finding treatment and how she overcame these to make a full recovery. During her recovery, she felt bombarded with all sorts of conflicting advice on food and diet. An avid researcher, she became obsessed with nutritional science and "healthy" eating. Despite all the literature that informed her she was eating the right things, her body rebelled against her low-fat diet and ultra-healthy eating plans. Stuck in a battle between her head and her gut, who would have ever thought that she would learn to Love Fat.

Tabitha Farrar identifies two core components to achieving full recovery from an eating disorder: Nutritional Rehabilitation and Neural Rewiring. This book is specifically about neural rewiring, what it is, what it looks like, how it feels, and what you need to understand. Most importantly, this book is about how to "do" neural rewiring with examples for eating disorder recovery.Neural Rewiring for Eating Disorder Recovery is for people with all categories of eating disorder and all body sizes.
