For any recovered anorexics or bulimics: did you undergo cognitive behavioural therapy? did it work for you? did you relapse?

As for my goal.. I want to recover. But I am still in my disordered mindset which makes the idea of gaining weight terrifying. And yeah I still want to lose weight, but I know I shouldn't..

Psychoanalytic Therapy- will look for patterns or significant events that may play a role in the client's current difficulties. Psychoanalysts believe that childhood events and unconscious feelings, thoughts and motivations play a role in mental illness and maladaptive behaviors.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy- behavioral therapists work to change problematic behaviors that have been trained through years of reinforcement. Cognitive therapists tend to focus on specific problems. These therapists believe that irrational thinking or faulty perceptions cause dysfunctions.

Group Therapy- Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy where two or more clients work with one or more therapists or counselors. This methods is a popular format for support groups, where group members can learn from the experiences of others and offer advice.

I myself went through CBT for depression
It worked for a short while but I very quickly relapsed in to depression and an Ed.
