I never did an eating disorder clinic but am on my second therapist. I have gone from purging a few times a day down to every 3 weeks if I am not triggered. To me this is some form of recovery. It has been 2 years since I first asked for help.

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.
