At around the same time I was reading that Yalom book, I read on another therapist's web site that described his practice and services that he provided "holding" in therapy to clients who requested it, however, not to women who were overweight. (Overweight men, not a problem.) Again, here was a T being honest. The "holding" service would not be something I would personally want, but his exclusion made me feel like whoa, what is it with therapists and overweight women? Maybe it is just those two Ts, but maybe it is also reflecting a more general antipathy in the general population towards that sort of person. I don't know. Most people are probably not so bluntly honest that they would reveal that if it were true for them.

Ugh. That just makes me feel kind of sick. I am not overweight and haven't been, but I do struggle with anorexia/bulimia and my body image and that is just so sad to me.
