Women’s Radio Network Presents Abigail Natenshon

CHICAGO - Oct. 22, 2014 - PRLog -- (October 20, 2014) Chicago, IL – As director of Eating Disorder Specialists of Illinois, Abigail Natenshon, psychotherapist and author, has been recognized by the Women’s Radio Network, WRNW1 for her pioneering work in the treatment of eating disorders and the books she has written about these disorders and their treatment. Abigail will inform listeners about these lethal but curable disorders, preparing them to become more effective advocates for their own, or their child’s, recovery. She will debunk prevalent misconceptions about anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder that hinder diagnosis and healing, and will empower patients and parents to recognize these diseases at earlier stages, find the most expert treatment, and participate actively in the healing process. In her view, “Knowledge is power….”

On Monday, November 24th at 3:30 EST, Abigail will be a guest on Women’s Radio Network, WRNW1, where she will be interviewed by WRNW1’s famous host, KC Armstrong. Abigail will enlighten not only KC about eating disorders, but listeners as well, inviting them to call in with questions for her to answer. Learn to recognize early signs of disease, and the emotional issues underlying and driving these disorders; come to understand the importance of family’ support, and regain hope for a total cure. Abigail declares that “parents are not to blame for their child’s disorder,” and encourages parents to “follow their best instincts” in intervening in a treatment process that may be less than effective…that is not directive or intentional enough to keep pace with an actively progressing, life threatening disorder. She says, “Nobody knows their child like a parent.” Effective treatment saves lives.

Eating Disorder Specialists of Illinois is an outpatient clinic made up of a team of expert and compassionate specialists who provide assessment and consultation, even while collaborating to educate, treat, and heal patients and families in need. Abigail says that despite the challenges of recovery from these complex disorders, so many patients have expressed their gratitude for engaging in a recovery process that globally improves life quality, offering them the opportunity to face the future with a greater sense of confidence, self-trust and well-being, even aside from a healthier relationship with food. She has written two books, several journal articles, and has made numerous television and radio appearances. Her web site, www.treatingeatingdisorders.com contains over 50 educative articles about eating disorders and their treatment, and includes a section that deals exclusively with the prevalent, but little understood, syndrome of picky eating, in adults and children.
