But seriously - it might be that one of the reasons that your therapy has not been successful has nothing to do with your perceived failures or shortcomings. Maybe your therapist is simply not qualified to treat you, or anyone with an eating disorder for that matter.

I am not over weight nor do I think I am over weight. My Eating disorder as nothing to do with weight. I was just saying that if the tactics above worked and were the answer then no one would be over weight.

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.
