In less than a week I will start seeing a psychologist they specializes in eating disorders. I'm not going to be able to still see my regular counselor anymore for ethical reasons since I will be seeing a psychologist. I'm very nervous and stressed because it's over $100 a session and she doesn't take insurance. I'm really nervous about getting help for my eating disorder.

This is a really big step, and it's normal to be nervous. It takes a lot of courage to switch counselors and get direct help for your eating disorder....you are very brave! I hope that you have a positive experience and that you can begin the deeper work of healing your ED. Please keep us posted on how the first appointment goes :)

I think that it's fantastic that you're taking this step!!!! YAY, you:))))
As sonny said, it's absolutely normal to be nervous but try and work some excitement in there too - after all this is going to be life changing for you in a GOOD way. Can't wait to hear how it goes:)

I'm so glad you are seeking help. It's very brave and something some of can't do. Unfortunately I have ran into the insurance issues a lot. It's hard to get the care you need when your normal doctor and counselor are uncomfortable treating you themselves. So they refer to some specialist that where insurance doesn't pay. The cost is expensive but worth the money. I hope all goes well.
