The highest mortality rate of all mental health disorders.
The indictment goes to, Eating Disorders.
Sarah Mackie's first-person memoir, Thin Deep is a heart-warming, daring and gritty account of life
with anorexia and bulimia.
Drawing on the findings of contemporary scientific thought-leaders, alongside some ancient and spiritual wisdoms, Thin Deep illustrates the connection between physical illness and emotional trauma.
From the benefits of mindfulness, breathwork and yoga to neuroplasticity and neuroscience, Thin Deep is the first personal memoir in the field of eating disorders that makes the undeniable connection between mind, body and soul, backed by reputable science and real-life experience. Not only does it provide hope but Thin Deep takes the reader on a journey. A journey through the trenches of daily life with anorexia. Through the torturous battlefield of bulimia. Into the murky waters that lurk somewhere between the two, until eventually the depths are met and the only way to turn, is inwards.
"Sarah's writing is elegant, raw and powerful. Bringing hope ad resources to anyone who has been affected by ED. Accessible and real, it takes the reader through the turmoil and despair to a place where they can finally learn to listen with grace to their body." ~ Jodie Merrick, Yoga Teacher and Founder of the Fringe Yoga Method and Studio
"A stark reminder of how the power of our own minds can make or break us. Sarah's ability to reflect on her most vulnerable moments are the ones I expect will offer the most strength to others." ~ Emma Oldfield, playwright and author of Keep It Down
