Anneliese created an incredibly nurturing space. For this one hour, I could ease my grip on my professional, personal, and physical stresses. Here, someone would care for me ... with skill, confidence, and attentiveness.
Within a month, the relapse into the eating disorder was over. Within two months, my menstrual cycle was reset and regular.
I'm sure I would've recovered - eventually - without Anneliese's help. But that 'eventually' would've been far longer and far lonelier, with far more repercussions for both my kids and my career.
