I really hate to be vague but for privacy reasons I don't want to reveal too many details. I will say that things have been at a real crisis point with my eating disorder and my T has made me a generous offer, one of those offers we all may secretly wish our T's could help in our recovery but were too afraid too ask....he offered it and because my life is on the line and I trust my T...Im taking it. I am absolutely humbled and terrified at the thought of the journey we are about to embark on, but I feel like this is my best shot towards health.

This sounds like something that some might consider a boundary crossing. I think sometimes it's hard to know what boundaries should be, and it may make things risker, but it doesnt' mean it's not a good idea. It's a matter of balancing, and sometimes crossing a boundary is a humane act from another person. My experience is that the important thing is to talk about any weirdness that happens from what I assume is a very generous offer. I wish you well.

I can assure you it would pass any therapeutic muster test and would not raise any professional red flags, and this is all being paid for. It's just a level of dedication and level of intensity we will be working on my issues.

Whatever it is that you are both doing together, it sounds like doing it together is what is needed. I hope you the best. I will add that my own therapist has gone beyond the call of duty at times and it really worked out in the end. I was also able to internalize some of that. Be well.

I also assumed this crossed boundaries, I'm happy to hear it's safe. Best of luck and I'm so very happy to hear how devoted your T is!

I'm glad your t is helping. My t has been good with my ED, she's made me food and at my worst, encouraged me to eat and drink in the session safely with her.
Thanks for this!
