Has Anyone Heard of Her?
Posted: 10-28-04 13:19pm

Has anyone heard of peggy claude pierre and the montreux clinic? I'm just curious because i've been reading her book "the secret language of eating disorders" and it seems like her theories & views on people with ed's are very different from other therapists. Apparantly her clinic (montreux) was shut down in victoria canada because of her methods of treating the illness and for practicing with no license.

The thing is that she was very effective at helping sufferes recover and had a very high success percentage that is why i'm curious as to if anyone knows anything about her and her methods. I'm just wondering if she's some kind of quack or very experienced? Also do people with anorexia or bulimia really feel and think the way she describes in her book? Such as, there is a voice almost like a demon yelling and cursing you allday & night that your overweight or not attractive and that you shouldn't have friends or relationships because you don't deserve them, and that your not worthy etc. False negative statements like that? It's actually kind of frightening the way she describes it in this book. Y

I guess it sort of like that.....I know how it felt for me and to look in the mirror.... I was my own worst enemy.....Its basically every bad thing someone ever said to me whether it was a joke or otherwise came back to haunt me....That was everything I thought I was....
Hope that helps.....
