I would think it would be difficult to kind of separate out/compartmentalize working on trauma and working on ED issues (and whatever else you work on with the current therapist). It just seems to me that there would be some overlap and in this way, it could get complicated (or perhaps even counterproductive) working with two different therapists at the same time. Isn't it all interrelated?
Is there any way, you could see the current therapist once a week every week, instead of twice a week every other week? Could you work on trauma as well as other issues with her? It seems to me that everything would be interrelated in one way or another, that somehow it might be more beneficial to work on it all together rather than separating them out (or trying to). Have you talked to your therapist about this possibility? Is there some reason she doesn't want to work on traumatic experiences alongside the other issues?
