I'm overweight and I'm working on this in therapy. I don't binge and I've never suffered from anorexia or bulimia. However I've been dieting and "eating healthy" since age 6 (at that age I was forced by parents).
My primary reason for therapy is trauma but I tried to talk about my issues with emotional eating and struggles with nutrition from the psychological perspective.
I was and still am so triggered and feel so ashamed when she wants only to talk about specific food and begins giving me tips and tricks about losing weight! We had a serious rupture about this. It seems she's absolutely not experienced with this kind of problem.
Does anyone have similar experience? How can I begin to talk about the real issues?
