Lydia Jade Turner is a founding member of Collective Shout: for a world free of sexploitation. She is also a Managing Director of BodyMatters Australasia; a specialist clinic established to both prevent and treat our current epidemic of disordered eating.

Below is Lydia’s review of Dannielle Miller’s book, The Butterfly Effect, which we recommend as a valuable resource.

Congratulations to Dannielle Miller for this much needed resource for parents and teachers. In a culture that has become increasingly saturated with premature sexualisation, bullying, eating disorders, self-harm and self-hatred, The Butterfly Effect equips any parent or teacher with accurate insight and key strategies to help teenage girls navigate today’s social landscape. Sharing her own self-disclosures and tips to healthier, happier teens, Dannielle’s expertise as educator and mentor to teen girls is obvious to any working within the field. In contrast to other books, Dannielle does not take a hysterical nor dooms-day approach to current day crises faced by girls – instead her book is one that supports, inspires, and transforms its readers into positive role models in teen girls’ lives. As a psychotherapist specialising in disordered eating, I highly recommend The Butterfly Effect to anyone wanting to understand how to help teenage girls through the difficult challenges they face today.

Dannielle Miller is the CEO of Enlighten Education which conducts in-school workshops for girls. You can also catch her most mornings on Mornings with Kerri-Anne, Channel 9. The Butterfly Effect can be purchased here.
