Totally not a silly fear! (But even if it was a silly fear, that’s ok too!) My heart goes out to you, I have a friend who is a recovered anorexic and works as a nutritionist in her own practice with clients with ED.

I can’t speak from experience with the ED, but I’ve always been curvy. Yes, fat shaming exists, but would point out that thin shaming exists too. So does women-shaming and slut-shaming, and [insert here] 10,000 other ways a woman can be shamed. Me personally, I wouldn’t feel fat-shamed at all if I had a friend who wanted to talk about her ED—I would feel honored they trusted me in that capacity! I am guessing your therapist probably would also feel this way, clinicial training and education aside. ED is such a complex and deeply personal issue, and I bet your therapist would feel nothing but honored you trusted her enough to bring it up.
