Dear Kym, You wrote a beautiful and extraordinary post. Your personal revelations Portia's book stimulated in you are powerful healing experiences. You've grown. You are in the now of growing and healing. You are coming to grips with what deep honesty means - not to tell the world everything about yourself - but to be open and clear to yourself about how you are living. And yes, sharing that self knowledge with a trusted and trustworthy person, like your therapist, gives you the necessary "witness" so make your revelations real to you. You are moving on your recovery path. It's more than about food and weight. Yes, it's about sexuality too -- and more. Brava, Kym. Thank you for writing this out.
