My Therapy Session

So I had my first session yesterday and it went really well. She is very well versed on eating disorders and seemed to have a true concern for people struggling with this issue in whatever form it manifests itself. We went over what I hope to gain out of this, what some of my problem areas are, etc. I go back next week and I'm looking forward to it! I can't wait to start getting down the the nitty  gritty so I can feel like I"m  making some progress.

Hi Tracy! You are my hero for moving forward with your therapy for an eating disorder!  Please keep us updated on anything you might learn along the way in which the rest of us might benefit. I'm on the fence about whether I have an eating disorder - some days I believe that therapy might just help me and other days I believe that I just lack the will power to say NO to bad foods! Hugs to you for being so brave!! Kristi 

Hey girl, glad to hear the session went well.  If you can grasp something to share with us, please do.  My insurance won't pay and right now I don't have the funds to self-pay. 

I'll pass any good info I gain along to you! I think I will come across some interesting things along the way! Thanks Dana!

Dana - do you know someone good in Houston to recommend?  I have been trying to locate someone who is not a Nut. to talk to  and have not really gotten any good referals.   Thanks! Valerie

Tracy I truly hope this helps you in whatever manor you are expecting ;-)   I talk way too much for therapy....never enough time :-) Diana

LOL, I hear ya on the talking too much!!!! I get that way too!

Tracy - This is something I'm thinking about doing, too. Do you have any insight on how to a therapist who treats eating disorders? Thanks, Donna open rny mar 18 2003 282/145/140

Donna, my surgeon's office recommended 2 different psychologists~I happened to meet mine at our support group meeting where she was the guest speaker for the  night. Thankfully both therapists were covered by my insurance plan. Good Luck finding someone in your area!

I'm right there with you girlfriend!  I found a great therapist that deals with these issues and I have made a lot of progress in the 4 sessions that I've had with her.  Its not easy opening up and facing those demons but it has to be done.  Best of luck to you!   Jaimee
