La bulimia me salvó

Following a traumatic episode during her adolescence, Lis Valera's world was never the same again. Her excruciating pain gave way to deep trauma, which led to depression and severe bulimia that began as a desperate escape route and ended in a dangerous maze she thought she would never get out of. And from which she, however, she came out. Drawing on years of exhaustive research and her own experiences, the author offers explanations and practical tools to understand what lies behind mental illness and dysfunctional relationships with food. At the same time, she also provides a raw, realistic, empathetic, courageous and moving lesson on how pain can work as an engine for transformation and that we are not slaves to our experiences.
