No, admitting it doesn't change the way we feel.....but it puts into our mind the KNOWLEDGE that we need to take action & sometimes we have to FORCE ourselves to take the action....but we wouldn't do that if we didn't believe there was a problem in the first place.....we wouldn't bother.

Glad you found a good T who's aware of your ED without your having to say anything. It helps to have validation that there is a problem & also someone to help hold us accountable.....those are also critical needs for recovering & changing one's behaviors.

Wishing you the best with this
