The Skeleton Key: How I Made Bulimia Part of the Past Forever and Learned to Love Myself, and my Body All Over Again (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781952623011)

"The Skeleton Keys" is a personal, deeply analyzed autobiographical story of Anabelle's successful recovery from bulimia without any treatment or support group intervention. In book one of the series, Anabelle shares her story and her alternative approach to treatment in great detail. In this raw and honest road-map to freedom, the author highlights the steps she took to heal in astonishing analytical clarity, which she collectively describes as "The Skeleton Key." Anabelle reverse-engineered her success for others, so they can implement the choices leading toward healing for good in their lives. Therefore, "The Skeleton Key" is not just simply a gripping bulimia memoir, but also an in-depth eating disorder guide. The author offers invaluable information about the function of our brain, body, subconsciousness, toxic programming, and how to unravel the mess of addiction piece by piece to end it for good. Anabelle wants her readers to know that she experienced a definite end-point in her recovery, which was more than 20 years ago. She also wants her audience to understand that the full recovery she experienced is not to be confused with "addiction management," but rather with a return to inner freedom and the joy of eating. Anabelle describes that reaching this last and final layer of recovery enables us to feel good about ourselves, our bodies, and also that piece of birthday cake again - permanently. With her life-changing account of her diligent self-study to share her knowledge with others, Anabelle demonstrates how she allowed herself to open all the doors that once seemed locked so tightly. She takes her reader by the hand to re-discover their own love for food, their bodies, and their minds. About the author: Despite being in the entertainment industry and having experienced a fair share of being in the public eye to some extend, not many people know about Anabelle's private life that she battled with eating disorders and addiction when she was younger. Thankfully, Anabelle, without ever receiving treatment or support group intervention, intuitively analyzed and treated her underlying trauma and healed. Only much later, fully recovered, and in a place of deep fulfillment and happiness, Anabelle noticed how wide-spread and extremely misunderstood eating disorders and addictions are. This fact inspired her journey to become a recovery activist and the author of "The Skeleton Key Series," a three-book series containing the condensed knowledge she derived from her unconventional self-analysis-driven recovery. "I suddenly realized I had a specific purpose in the world of addiction recovery when I successfully turned a friend's life around by simply passing on my recovery knowledge and tools. This impact astounded and moved me beyond words. The hands-on methods I had derived from my personal journey of healing, where I became my own expert, and where following my bliss restored my inner freedom. I describe this process as intuitively reverse-engineering my illness and decoding my behavioral patterns. All of us can do that. Once one comes full circle and ends the very personal process of forgiveness and self-healing, it is like I being cured of blindness. There is no way back - in a good way The gift of my recovery is that I see addictive patterns everywhere, not just in eating disorders, but in toxic behaviors in general. These include negative self-talk, which results in negative self-image - that's a big one and a root cause of why we remain trapped in addictions and other self-harming behaviors. When I saw what a positive effect my learned lessons had on others, I decided to go beyond my dream of just making meaningful movies. My passion project was born. A long journey of compiling and logging my story, my tools, and later even investigative journalism began, intending to pack my condensed knowledge into a book series. The "Skeleton Keys" three-book series is my way of passing it forward
