You should definitely find another therapist who works with people with eating disorders.
The last time I tried to find a therapist, it failed. And the last therapist I saw on a regular basis caused more harm than good. I don't trust therapy anymore, that's the problem, and the search for the right match is utterly exhausting, in my experience. I have given up on therapy, at least for now. At this point, I need to figure things out for myself and problem-solve on my own. I joined eating disorder support groups on Facebook. That's the most support I will get on this issue at the moment.
