That's kind of backwards thinking that the ED world seems to have because it's the trauma issues that you aren't able to deal with that makes your ED worse.....it's directly tied together. If they could help you treat the trauma, the ED would come under control......
It's still the bass ackward way of thinking that they had back in 1995....you would think that they would learn in 20 years from all the examples they deal with.....but like in my case, they & I had no idea what issues were REALLY behind the anorexia (in my case)...but if they had looked deeper & helped me look deeper, it would have been obvious.
I know after the huge trauma I went through & ended up in the medical hospital for my last go around with anorexia, my MD & Pdoc kept telling me to find an ED treatment place to go to....LOL...every one I called wouldn't even deal with the trauma that caused the ED to hit me again......they just wanted to deal with ED's that are caused by body image issues.....MOST AREN'T.....most have deep underlying issues even if it does look like body image issues that are much more serious than that....but they aren't capable of REALLY handling the causes of the ED's & then they treat & push you out the door only to have us end up back again because the REAL issue wasn't dealt with.
