Today my first opportunity to speak from my heart online in a video about the realities of eating disorder recovery therapy is available for free at HealthyPlaceTV.

Firsts are always a challenge.  Dealing with the technology glitches and the patience called upon me when my scr screen read "stand by, technical difficulties" made glad for my own recovery work.  I actually smiled to myself as I waited and wondered and repeated my intro.  I thought of how, in the thick of my bulimia I could never have handled the situation.

Being in recovery and free not only of my eating disorder but also free of the need for it is such a pleasure.  Instead of being anxious or frantic I felt even more confident and intent on giving adult women with eating disorders this information. I want them - you - to know what it's like to feel and be capable in this world under challenge.

Sexual Exploiters and Vulnerable Women's Fantasies

Often in my practice a new patient comes in with a distorted perception of the sexual exploition in her life. She may have a stalker.
