Dr. H

So, I’ve started seeing a therapist.  It’s long overdue really.  I’ve been just coasting along for the last year and a half since JP royally screwed me over emotionally and mentally.  I mean, he really did a doozy on me.  I seriously cannot trust a guy in any respect other than as my friend.  I have no desire to be intimate in any way, shape, or form with a man.  It’s not that I’m “afraid” to get involved, it’s just that I don’t feel the need or the want to get involved with anyone on that level.  I am in a place of liking my singleness and liking the freedom to do as I please and not have to worry about someone else’s wants, needs or whims. 

I’ve only had one session with Dr. H so far, but I have the sense that she will be able to help me with some breakthroughs.  I’m really hoping she can help me get a handle on my binge eating.  I really struggle with the overwhelming urges to eat junk and eat as much of it as I possibly can.  She agrees with me that JP has something to do with my binge eating urges because I didn’t have this problem before I met him.  She’s going to help me explore ways to soothe myself that don’t involve stuffing my face when I feel stressed in any way.

Dr. H gave me a little homework assignment for this week.  She wants me to track whether or not I gave into my urges on a daily basis.
