Why She Feels Fat by Johanna Marie McShane

purposes

Purpose, or meaning, in life is something people in recovery think about a lot. A lot.

newfound time on your hands

Isn't it amazing how much time something like an eating disorder, or PTSD, or anxiety, or depression... or anything like that, takes up?????

ptsd and other things like it

SuperEgg, PTSD, or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a set of symptoms that develop in response to overwhelming trauma.

talking about the stuff you need to in treatment

Here's LeahV's question, for anyone who didn't get a chance to see it:

proceeding after glitches

KM, in all relationships, including of course, therapist/client ones, glitches can happen.

types of relationships

Good question, leanonme... "is there a difference between partnerships and relationships?"

partnerships

I love the idea of partnerships. I'm sure this surprises you guys a whole lot!

assessing how therapy's going

Ann, let me just point out that the fact that you're asking the question about "how do I know if my therapy is going in the right direction?" and "how do I know if the therapist I'm seeing is the right one for me?" shows a lot about how your recovery is going (and the fact that it's going in the right direction)!

it's a good thing :)

I think, SuperEgg, based on what you wrote, you understand somewhere inside you that crying is ok.
