Just a few questions I have: Does your ED become induced by stress? If so do you feel like you now have the tools to overcome the stressors and continue on the path of health?
What other areas does your T cover? If you feel like you want to explore working on other areas of your life I would ask T if that's something she can help you with.
Perhaps you can stop going to T for a month and see how you feel?
When I first went to my T it was to unload all the stuff from my past (abuse stuff). Then it evolved into my relationships with others, self esteem, and my obesity. I'm now at a very healthy weight for the first time ever and my T is proud of me
. Working on oneself is neverending it's just a matter of deciding you need your T to help you with it or not. I have my last appt coming up with T after seeing her for 3 1/2years and I will miss her dearly. I am eternaly thankful for all that she has done for me.
PS Congratulations!!!
