Supporting your child through recovery will be the hardest thing that you ever do. But with compassion, for yourself as well as your loved one, you can enhance their chances for successful healing, and build a stronger bond than ever.

Selina Elison and her 16-year-old daughter, Fiona, have a trusting mother-daughter relationship. Then one day, Selina receives a call from the school counsellor, who informs her that Fiona has been dieting, binge eating and purging for almost one year. In secret. Selina is shocked. She does not know anything about bulimia. When she learns about the scary side effects of this deadly mental illness, she is determined to do whatever it takes to help her daughter heal.

Elison brings the reader deep into the world of family-based therapy and bulimic thinking. She raises awareness about the heavy burden for those who care for someone with a mental illness. Woven into her story are practical strategies for recovery support, as well as discussions about the influence of social media on the development of an eating disorder.

While Bulimia is a plea for bridging the gap between eating disorder treatment and care, it is also a story of personal growth, connection, and hope.
