How does food make you feel?
If it's a source of guilt, shame, or punishment, have you ever stopped to ask why?

We've become so used to the concept of 'good' and 'bad' foods that we barely notice the drastic statement we're making when we say we are a bad person for eating something sweet. In FOOD THERAPY, Pixie Turner presents a new approach to our relationship with food. Instead of focusing on rules, reduction and restriction, this practical book will help you uncover the psychological roots of your eating habits - and introduce you to a new mindset that will free you from a destructive relationship with food.

Whether you struggle with disordered eating, body image problems, or feel trapped by diet culture, Pixie's experience as a registered nutritionist and psychotherapist allows her to guide you through how your feelings a ffect what you eat. By showing how our eating habits are often an attempt at solving underlying problems, and how to face the difficult emotions and memories behind them, FOOD THERAPY empowers you to eat freely for life and feel truly at home in your body.

Reviews
Essential reading for your mental and physical health - I am beyond happy that this book finally exists. Anything Pixie Turner touches will make you feel better, and reading this book is like seeing a new therapist. There isn't a human being on this Earth who doesn't need to read this book. The only thing that could make this book better is if I had been able to read it when I was a lot younger -- Sofie Hagen, author of HAPPY FAT and host of WHO HURT YOU
