I'm trying not to see everyone's disorders as nails for the hammer I found—but I have a definite interest in raising awareness, seeing both how damaging and how widespread these issues are.
Also, as a kind of warning, I can say the literature available is kind of mixed: there are good recommendations on methods for recovery, but the theory behind a lot of it is quite bad: amateurs seeking explanations for the efficacy of their methods. The most popular expositor, Dr. John Sarno, grounds his theory in Freudian psychology. The situation is probably better when speaking with practitioners in mental health, but maybe not by so much: my psychiatrist was utterly unsurprised—was nothing new to him. That said, books on the subject seemed more practically helpful that recommendations from him.
Thanks!
