I don't have an eating disorder, but I have needed to talk about eating and body issues because of a medical condition. My T specializes in treating both eating disorders and trauma, and I find it refreshing that she focuses on the feelings and the meaning rather than on eating per se. Body stuff is so difficult and often treated so callously and unkindly in the world that it's helpful to have a T who isn't quick to make value judgments or shift to talking about what to eat or how to change your life.
