About Me
- Carrie Arnold
- I'm a science writer, a jewelry design artist, a bookworm, a complete geek, and mom to a wonderful kitty. I am also recovering from a decade-plus battle with anorexia nervosa. I believe that complete recovery is possible, and that the first step along that path is full nutrition.

I agree, I like that video. Metaphors and visuals are always helpful. Therese Borchard does great ones. I posted awhile back on one of hers about letting go of guilt, equating it with rocks in a backpack.
This is a great & brief description of a complicated concept! I agree very applicable to ED!
I agree - it is a very good explanation of some work that was explained to me on brain imaging and depression.
