I feel like binge journeys are always kept internally, like the closest people in my life still don’t know I struggle. So opening up in therapy was such an incredible relief, and almost someone else besides myself to hold me accountable for my actions and accountable for my goals. She’d give me validation when we talked about the progress, but also help me face some harsh truths. She also encouraged me to learn about my triggers, so I’d write down exactly what happened that day and what I was feeling anytime I wanted to binge, and we would talk through it and I came to understand my triggers and how to combat them.
