Like if you told people what your flaws are would they say you are ebing ridiculous? You should look inot it, online, or there are some good book s on it too. You should talk to your T about it too. There are treatments for it, not good ones, but nonetheless. Thanks for your feedback.

I am bulimic and that is what brought me to finally after a decade seek a therapist. I have 2 T's now but they never ask about my body image. They rarely ask about my bulimic activities. I won't bring it up because it is uncomfortable and embarrassing. Neither of them challenge me.

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
