He asks me about the intensity of the feelings and then wants me to describe in detail what I feel about him, fantasies etc...

On the other hand, Ana turning to Mia is pretty common- your body fights back to survive. Same goes for the substance addiction- all mimicking eating (i.e. energy supply) and depression (comes with malnutrition) :/
BTW, hate to break it to you but anorexia is NEVER just anorexia- after all it is just a symptom
I know. My ed is masking severe depression according to T. That's why recovery is so hard for me.

That was EXACTLY what I told myself when I realised I had fallen for him.

I would also share with him that you feel you are less stable now than you were when you started therapy. Maybe he and you can take a different tack in therapy that would help you more.
I've told him both of these things but he says that we NEED to adress the transference issue. Idk, I'm really confused.

Thanks for the replies guys. And for the hugs, they were much needed.
