I thought that last sentence was very weird, too - had to read it a few times because I thought I was reading it wrong. It sounds like this therapist could improve how he expresses himself.
I am sorry you are suffering from bulimia - I had that, too, in my teens and early 20s. I was anorexic first but it developed into bulimia, I think it's quite a common experience with eating disorders. I never had any treatment for it and it lasted about 10 years with varying severity... it is a horrible condition. What eventually resolved it for me was a very strong determination not to buy foods I tended to binge on and just generally not storing a lot of food at home. Also, forcing myself to eat healthy meals regularly and not starve - that definitely decreased the desire for binging. It was definitely very hard in the beginning, much like getting sober from my other addiction later in life. Now that I had the experience with getting sober, if I had to deal with bulimia again, I would definitely seek out some peer support groups - have you tried anything like that? Overeaters Anonymous or something like that? Or perhaps group therapy with people who also also struggle. Bulimia is a very secretive, shameful, isolating condition, much like substance addiction, it can be so good to be around people who truly understand. People one can reach out to anytime when the urges are strong, not like therapy where you go when it is your time, not necessarily when you feel bad or struggle.
