help My new dog wont eat from bowl

I just got a new dog, shes a 2 year old rescue. She wont eat from anything other than my hand. Wont eat from a bowl, plate or even the floor. If its not in my hand she tries to bury it by tipping the bowl or just pushes it around with her nose. Its not that shes not hungry, shes barely ate in the 3 days ive had her, so surely she must be starving. It definitely has something to do with her past home and being bullied by the other dogs and them not allowing her to eat. How do I teach her to eat from the bowl? That its okay?
