Very wise in going to someone who is familiar with handling ED's. I had a problem however with them personally because I have many issues that goes into the anorexia that I deal with & much is stress more than the desire to be really thin. Because of that, many of the "specialists" at the ED treatment center wanted to shove me into their preconceived box of what my problem was & it didn't do any good at all. All their questions were directed at getting the information they believed existed out of me & it didn't give room to get the real important information out to be processed. It happened also with the pdoc & the psychologist that were on staff at the hospital where my GP was treating me for my very low weight after I went through the trauma with the home care person when my mother was dying of cancer. They heard what I was saying about the trauma but weren't willing to tie it to the low weight issues I was in the medical hospital being treated for. Just make sure that this T is really LISTENING TO YOU & what YOU ARE SAYING & not putting words into your mouth or taking their own preconceived ED thoughts out of your mind. Many are good...but it's important to make sure they are good & truly hearing what you have to say.

ED treatment can be very complicated when it really gets down to WHY those behaviors are really there & what is really behind them & sometimes we don't even really know but it's so important for the healing process.

Wishing you the best with your new T....it's good to go with a positive attitude toward getting the help that is really needed
