I can relate Echos. Although eating as a way of avoiding or dealing with emotions, should hypothetically, be dealt with in "normal" therapy, I think most therapists are not up to speed on the complexities of food, eating and our relationship with our bodies. In our case, with male therapists, I also find the gender difference tricky because hating our bodies, diet culture and eating our emotions feel almost intrinsic to being born female.

Have you listened/read any of Laura Thomas's stuff? She's a dietitian but comes from an intuitive eating/health at every size ethos. She has a podcast called "don't salt my game", it really good! I had a brief look at her online course (which is eye wateringly expensive) and she seems to go down a CBT route. Another good one is Fat is a Feminist Issue by Susie Orbach, which does have more of a psychoanalytical slant, though it's a book of it's time and the idealisation of weight loss in it, is very problematic and not helpful.

ping me if you want to chat, I am slightly immersed in this stuff
