It leaves viewers with the impression there is no hope in overcoming an eating disorder. Which of course is contrary to what I believe. My years of experience say that There is Hope!!!

I thought it would be good to share another counselor's perspective on this movie so readers will understand that I am not the only one that believes there is hope.

Article on Holiday Blues

I have attached a link to an article by Mark Kellner titled, "Holiday Blues: How to Heal, How to Help".

The article is about the fact that many people, even Christians, no longer find joy in the holidays.

I would encourage you to read this article if you are currently experiencing stress and depression. >Link to Holiday Blues Article

The holiday season brings out the urge to bake in even the most reluctant cook.
