I am furious. My counsellor is 30 miles away, but I've not been there for a few months. I wondered if I could try the newer counsellor closer to home and contacted her. Well I wish I hadn't. What an attitude. She was blunt and unsympathetic which left me in floods of tears. She suggested that I came to the refreshers group rather than start again from Foundation, but I would have to pay £260 in one payment for 4 weeks in advance. I explained to her that I could not pay that sort of payment in one, and that I could do it weekly as normal, her answer was, you can't come back then. That was that. Call finished. I can't believe this woman is a qualified counsellor.
I am kicked in the teeth. I had a back injury earlier in the year which started me off binge eating as I was at home all day doing nothing, well I went back up from my post LL weight of 9st 4lb up to my current weight now of 13st. I feel like sh*t and can't believe I let myself go. I made the decision to come back to LL, hoping I could start from scratch with the 14 week foundation to relearn the basics. I am pretty upset as it is, I didn't need someone I thought I could turn to pushing my right over the edge.
Even though its twice the journey, I think I would be better off going back to my original counsellor who lives in the real world and who doesn't penalise you for being not so well off. It made me feel that I was too poor to come to her groups.
