Entering Therapy for Anorexia Nervosa

0 comments

Feelings about entering therapy for Anorexia Nervosa while there are some exceptions, usually the client suffering from Anorexia does not want to give up their eating disorder. People suffering from this disorder have an overwhelming fear that they will not be accepted or loved if they gain weight. Most people with Anorexia view their illness as non-problematic. In fact, many clients with Anorexia actually view their illness as an achievement that demonstrates their high level of discipline.
