if your T is working with clients who have body image issues then i'm sure he is more than aware of his own and has probably talked with other clients about it also!
my pdoc is a little chubbabubba. thing is, i know he does a lot of exercise and makes sure to keep himself fit and healthy. i'm more scared of my therapist, who is a part time fitness instructor. he is perfectly cut. it makes me feel like disappearing sometimes, when we talk about my body stuff. i feel like he can't help but judge me.
i'm wondering how your T's weight makes it difficult for you to trust him? is it that you're worried he doesn't understand, or doesn't care about your anorexia? or that he'll want you to be as large as he is? or...?
i think it'd be a good discussion to have with your T
