I can understand not wanting to contact your T between sessions. I've been seeing my T since April and I'm not even at that point myself either. I know there is a no email rule, but beyond that, I have no idea what between sessions boundaries he has. I journal a lot just to get those feelings out somewhere. I do have a few people that I can turn to for support, but only one of them are in person besides my DH. I know i should have more people than that to support me, but I'm so embarrassed and ashamed about my ED that I just can't. Too humiliating. I'd rather run far away or disappear than tell anyone else at this point.

I wish that I had your T and mine combined. I love my T, but he isn't an ED specialist. My DH and I are going to be starting to see a marriage counselor starting next month. After 5 years of dealing with major health issues for me, it has put a strain on our marriage. And now this.
I'd give anything in the world for my T to be able to handle it all, but I know that isn't possible. He did say he'd be by my side every step of the way even if I end up at an ED clinic, and I am so grateful for that!!
for you. I wish that your DH could be more supportive. For better or worse. In sickness and in health. Sounds like he needs to be reminded about the vows you took together. If you need anything, please let me know. We can do this.
