It depends what else is going on in your life / mind, I suppose. So it can't be predicted, not by yourself or your T.

I don't know, it seems to be putting too much pressure on recovery to measure the length and frequency of slips. Honestly, I have no idea how many times I slipped back. Could be hundreds.

If someone was keeping score, it would have made no sense!

Hence one of the reasons I fibbed to a therapist.

But something deep inside me was changing.

We had been using inner child therapy, and through that I was able to feel some compassion for myself. Or, at least to realise that the things I went through in childhood were not alright!

So, she started that process of making me feel like a person who deserved to walk around free of this crippling condition I'd developed in order to cope / escape / retain control of the chaos.

But I was still vomiting numerous times a day for months after I stopped seeing her.

Many thanks to her, for having given me the tools I would eventually use.

You could always tell your therapist you don't want the ED to be at the foreground of the work you're doing fir now.

Good luck.

PS. Remember, Moxie, lying in order to please a T is a bit like faking an orgasm. If you do it once, you might have to do it for the rest of your life!
