I am a therapy reject, who has gone on a solo mission to escape from an eating disorder and a life spent eating sugar-free jelly with chopsticks.

Lola - my BFF since middle school (I am almost 50 now) has gone through bulimia and anorexia. She's been hospitalized at least 3 times, once was for several months (committed by husband). She's okay now, eats small amounts of healthy food but is about 200 pounds now because her metabolism slowed way down due to the previous years. The purging ruined her teeth and she had to spend thousand of dollars on caps! Now her self-esteem is low because of being overweight as compared to the years of being average and/or thin. Please folks - eat at least a cup of food 4 times a day and make it healthy food - no junk or desserts. I don't care if anyone is thin, average or fat. I care about the quality of nutrition that goes into you so that you can live a long, happy, healthy life!

Dear Lola,

Thank you for listing my blog as your friend. I am fascinated by your calling yourself a "therapy reject" combined with your obvious determination to be healthy.

I wonder if you would be willing to begin a conversation with me where perhaps we can help each other understand what actually works in eating disorder treatment.

I'm a psychotherapist and have been specializing in eating disorder recovery for well over 20 years. Most of my patients get better.

But that doesn't make me a miracle worker. People are drawn to me who feel that the work I offer is right for them and I select who I work with on the basis of whether I feel I can help them. So we create a match in the very beginning.

I wonder what happened to you? So much is being said and done in the name of eating disorder treatment that I believe is not effective and sometimes damaging.

Lately I've been concerned about people with eating disorders who have been hurt or disappointed or both by ineffective treatment, and who are reluctant to trust again.
Genuine respect and caring, I believe, is essential for the relationship between therapist and patient, and so many people don't seem to have created a strong, warm, personal bond based on mutual trust with their clinician.

So I would very much like create an exchange of ideas and experiences with you to see what we both can learn.

I hope I hear from you.

warm regards,

Joanna Poppink, MFT
