New Book/Blog on Self-Injury & Eating Disorders
COMES THE DARKNESS, COMES THE LIGHT is an exploration of self-injury
and eating disorders through one woman's non-fiction account of her lifelong battle with "cutting" and anorexia. The author, Vanessa Vega, began self-harming as a small child. According to Dr. Tracy Alderman, a San Diego psychologist and self- injury expert, approximately 13-18% of American teenagers deliberately hurt themselves. As a high school teacher and motivational speaker at various schools, Vega strives to help youngsters who might face the same troubles from her past. COMES THE DARKNESS, COMES THE LIGHT is a raw, graphic, and sometimes chilling exploration of Vega's struggles. More importantly, the book is a story of hope for others who grapple with the same disorders. Vega shares several of her intense therapy sessions, both group and individual, that finally prompted her recovery process after a 30-year battle. The author maintains a blog about issues related to self-injury and eating disorders. You can view the blog, which includes an excerpt from the book, on LiveJournal at: http://comes_the_light.livejournal.com |
