How do you know your ED is not a symptom of that comorbid diagnosis? My T said my Bulimia comes from my cPTSD and Borderline and when those are treated my ED will resolve.....which I can actually see that starting to happen. We never treated the ED, barely discussed it in the past year.

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.
