I do not care anymore and I am done fighting it. I am 53 and 7 years of therapy. The longest I have ever gone without purging is 3 weeks. When I go to therapy twice a week and stay in contact with the therapist, between sessions, then I am able to last a lot longer but therapist kick you out the door. So down to once a week and no contact between session and I am purging more frequently. I try to make a promise to God I wont do it but it overcomes me so hard and I can not always control it.

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
