Its good to get things resolved and your counselor should know if things are going too fast for you. Im in counseling and recovering memories of things has been difficult but its apart of me and to not have that resolved means nothing will change in my life. You are doing this for yourself and take your time with it. Make sure your counselor knows how you are feeling so he/she can know how hard to push or not. Go slow , you can do this:)
Please do go ahead. It can really help.
Tell your counselor up front your fears about counseling. They have heard it all before. Your "other" issues are just another manifestation of how the abuse has affected you. Expect a lot of hard work, but in the end it will be very rewarding. Stay strong.
what do you think that counselling explores??? only one aspect of your issues?? you should just go & throw it all out on the table about the abuse & the eating disorder...a good idea maybe ummm i think so
