When Neesha Arter was fourteen years old, she was sexually assaulted by people she had no reason to mistrust. In an effort to to reconcile feelings of guilt and shame and search for control in a seemingly unraveling world, she turned to anorexia. Ten years later, now an established journalist in New York City Neesha has written a powerful memoir that looks back with healing insight on the importance of speaking uncomfortable truths.
What You'll Learn:
• Why Neesha wrote her memoir Controlled.
• Why she believes therapy helped heal her.
• How Neesha's relationship to food and exercise has changed.
• What advice she would give to a teenage girl now.
• What is her definition of recovery.
