Finding Help Fast When Your Child or Teen Has An Eating Disorder

Lori Osachy, MSS, LCSW has been successfully helping families overcome eating disorders for over twenty years. You can contact Lori for help at 904-737-3232, or through her website www.bodyimagecounseling.com. You can gain access to her complete recovery system at www.quickstartrecovery.com. Getting quality care for your loved one with an eating disorder can be a minefield. In this concise and practical guide, you will quickly discover how to handle difficult situations when seeking eating disorders treatment that you rarely hear about but unfortunately, happen all the time, such as: what to do when your child's primary doctor denies there is an eating disorder; when blood work comes back "normal," but you know your loved one is ill; when insurance doesn't cover treatment, and when your adult child refuses care. This is a book that is a culmination of my twenty years of experience working on the front lines of eating disorders' treatment and recovery. I wrote it because I was giving out the same life-saving advice day after day on the phone and in the office to distraught parents, husbands, friends and other loved ones, and hearing horror stories about the struggles they had in finding quality treatment for eating disorders. I realized that there was virtually no practical advice available to help them avoid these heartbreaking and AVOIDABLE mistakes in seeking help. Your loved one CAN recover, and I guarantee that this book with help you avoid these costly emotional and financial mistakes the first time you try. "Parents' Quick Start Recovery was the only book that outlined a clear plan of action for our daughter, and gave us tools we could use immediately. Her methods work. Her methods WORK! I will be forever grateful for Lori." - Mandy, age 54, mother of Allison, age 14.
