I'm trying to fnd a new T who specializes in EDs to help me figure mine out, because I'm no getting anywhere on my own.
But even just changing the way I talk about myself, as you said, is a good place to start.

A good therapist makes a lot of difference, so im glad you are finding a new one.
My T told me to start with catching all of the judgements I say to myself. For instance "I don't need this cookie because I'm fat," "i cant wear this shirt because i look ugly in it" or "uggh i cant stand my hair today"...
i was so suprised how many times i discouraged and judged myself daily, most things i had no idea i was even saying to myself. but once i paid more attention to myself i was able to stop some of them before i even said them. even if it meant stopping what i was going to say - mid sentance.
you never know, it might work for you too
