Join MEDA for a thoughtful conversation with Melissa Freizinger, PhD, as she discusses her new book, Disobey: Finding Freedom from Your Eating Disorder.

When you’re struggling with an eating disorder (ED), it can be hard to imagine that recovery is possible. Your ED has probably disconnected you from your friends and family, given you so many rules to follow, and it’s even taken over your thoughts and feelings. But it’s important to remember your ED is not your best friend. It doesn’t want what’s best for you. How can you say goodbye to your eating disorder and take back your life? 

In Disobey, Doctors Christina Tortolani, Renee Rienecke, and Melissa Freizinger support you on your recovery journey and show you step-by-step how to find your freedom. Using science-backed tools, you’ll learn how to push back against your ED and reconnect with yourself again. Disobey also includes the lived experience of adolescents and young adults who have been there and are now recovered – a vital part of DISOBEY is the recovery stories and art.

Disobey also includes:

• Journal and art prompts to help you reflect on what you’ve learned

• Inspiring and reassuring stories from others who have struggled with similar challenges

• Engaging exercises so you can start practicing new behaviors and ways of thinking

  Recovery is tough—but the payoff is absolutely worth it. Come to listen, reflect, and connect.
