[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 39738"] I would keep an eye on it, too. These things can get out of hand quickly. I maybe wouldn't jump into full force battle of the ED, but just keep a watchful eye on her diet and bathroom habits and go from there. I would, however, have serious concerns about any therapist keeping a possible eating disorder from the parents. in my humble opinion, that falls into the harming of self category that necessitates the therapist telling the parent. Maybe the therapist didn't really buy it and was seeing how it played out? Food for thought: I was mildly anorexic as a teenager and into my early twenties. My lowest weight was 95 pounds at 5'4" and it took me 6 months to gain 2 pounds. I did have body image issues, but the real cause for me was that it was the only way to put a physical face on the emotional pain. There wasn't a broken arm or a tumor...nothing that could be seen or touched. And there were no words to articulate just how incredibly miserable I was. But I needed it to be seen. I [i]needed[/i] someone to know how bad I felt. It wasn't a conscious thought at the time. It's just the way it manifested. [/QUOTE]
