Synopsis

The fact that Beverley Hutton survived to tell her story is a miracle, but her story has been told all over the world, bringing about miracles in countless lives. This is the harrowing story of a young girl growing up within a terrifying cult. She was forced to escape through the very methods used to destroy - the deliberate fragmentation of a developing mind through techniques used to instil compliance and fear. Beverley turned initially to Anorexia to block out relentless fear, only to replace it with another horrifying nightmare when she found herself locked in a secure hospital with severely psychotic patients. Beverley defied the odds with her determination to fight for freedom and justice for others. She challenges current thinking on mental health and spirituality in a culture where more people are speaking out about historical abuse. In a society with ever-growing pressure on mental health waiting lists, she shows how the church can rise up to fill the gap that exists by integrating better understanding of mental health and faith. She gives hope and inspiration that nobody is beyond the love of God. Still the Hunger is an autobiographical account of an incredible journey of recovery from Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and Anorexia Nervosa. The reader is given detailed insight into the disordered thinking of living with a fragmented mind, and the intrusions and flashbacks so often associated with Complex-Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Beverley Hutton is the Founder and Clinical Director of the mental health charity, Still the Hunger. She is a Psychodynamic and EMDR Psychotherapist, with personal experience of working with DID and complex trauma as a clinician, as a Christian, and as a personal lived experience.
