SHOSHANA KOBRIN has helped countless women cut the cords of their struggle with food and weight. The Satisfied Soul is vividly illustrated by characters based on poignant stories of women in her psychotherapy practice, and her own long history of bulimia. You'll be encouraged by these courageous women who conquered obsessive dieting, bingeing, compulsive overeating, overweight, obesity, bulimia, and anorexia. The Satisfied Soul goes beyond dead-end diet plans with practical tools and a stirring, inspirational approach. Most approaches to overweight, body image concerns, and eating disorders follow the medical model - dieting, attempts to correct negative thought patterns, and strictly monitoring eating habits. That model addresses only symptoms, not fundamental causes.

This involves repairing the inner emptiness and learning to connect deeply with your needs and desires, with others, and with the world we live in. You'll learn strategies to change your thoughts, feelings, and behavior about food and your weight. Understanding the deeper layers of your struggle, you'll be more accepting of yourself and your body.

Let The Satisfied Soul guide you through the passages of change and growth to manifest your gift of transformation. Move from the Dark Spiral of despair about food and weight to the Land of Possibility where each day is a treasure!
