"Pain teaches, but it is only when it is over that wisdom comes.
Healing leaves scars but it also brings energy and hope."
- Catherine Garrett, writing in "Beyond Anorexia; Narrative, Spirituality and Recovery."
I'm currently looking at the role spirituality (or lack of) plays in the development, perpetuation and ultimate recovery from eating disorders. The above quote is from the author of the book writing abour her own experiences of anorexia and her recovery process. Her writing highlights the pain and difficulties often involved in recovering from any eating disorders, but also ultimately, the hope & salvation that can be discovered during that journey.
