Hi, I can relate to so much of what you have said. I want you to know that. One of the things that makes me the most angry is what the counsellor said to you. Anyone who is a decent weight loss counsellor knows that there are VERY complex issues at the core. They work with the client around the issues that are under the manifestation of the eating disorder. Its unconscionable that a weight loss therapist does not know that. But I think there are many counsellors who are not adequately skilled.

I wish you had found someone who could have worked on the core issues. Just as I wish this for anyone who has an ed. An ed is a manifestion of other issues that can be worked on and healed. Thats my opinion. And while there is work that can be done directly on the ed, I cannot imagine doing it without the other work. They go hand in hand. Maybe someday that ed counsellor will figure that out before he does more harm to more people. Okay, I am angry with that counsellor.

I am glad you are here. just know I relate to so much of what you have written. Please keep posting.
