"I went to see Lynne because I was at the point where bulimia was not taking the pain of life away for me anymore... my bulimia was controlling me...With Lynne I was finally able to understand why I made the choices I made and what was really underneath my bulimia. It wasn't just an act of bingeing and purging but a reflection of what I was suppressing. Today, I have the strength and love for myself to beat this disorder. I know that being bulimic is not what I want in life...I just know how much better life is without bulimia...My true self has been able to return."

"I was sick of making myself sick. I didn't like how the eating disorder was affecting my life and how it made me treat people around me. I tried for years to stop through punishing myself with cutting or crying, or trying to be self-disciplined and forcing myself not to throw up...so I finally decided to get some serious help because I couldn't do it myself...I feel a strong connection with Lynne...she is really easy to talk to and nonjudgmental and this made me feel comfortable...She helped me realize that issues with food are common and that things in my past have contributed to why I have the eating disorder. I am less ashamed of myself now...and feel less alone...therapy is the best thing I have done for myself in a long time. It's worth getting help to be healthy and to live life to its fullest!"

"I decided it was time to see Lynne when I finally acknowledged that I was fed-up...with not feeling in control of my own eating...with constantly thinking about food...I was nervous to meet her for the first time. Talking about my eating disorder...was an embarassing and humiliating thing for me. I received patience, compassion, empathy and wisdom. I had no clue how events from my past still affected me or how to overcome those issues. Today, I am relieved that food and eating are no longer at the forefront of my mind. I eat what I'm hungry for, when I'm hungry and I stop when I'm no longer hungry...I have much better self-esteem and body image. I now possess the knowledge, skills and awareness necessary to avoid my child following on the same path of disordered eating that has been the norm in my family for generations...My only regret is that I didn't start therapy with her sooner."

"I feel that Lynne has come to know me on many levels and I value the deep trust and respect that I have experienced in our relationship. I have greatly appreciated her calm, honest and realistic perspectives...Lynne has helped me to shift many of my thoughts as I've been getting to know the core of myself while learning to accept myself. I feel excited about the future, confident in my abilities, and capable of facing any of the challenges to come. Lynne has been a huge source of relief and comfort...and I leave (therapy) with respect and admiration for all that she has done for me"
