There is no special certification just for eating disorders that I know of here in the USA. Besides eating disorders are a symptom of something else. Mine is a symptom from cPTSD and BPD. Treat those and my symptoms subside. Since your weight was not low enough for the usual clinic where would he have sent you?

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.
