> I could see his point of view and feelings in regard to me not getting enough help (he said he wasn’t an eating disorder specialist, and he was wanting to refer me to one), but it also hurt me so much that he was going to give up on me like that.
Or maybe he cares about you so much he wants to make sure you get the very best treatment for something he knows he can't help you with?
Honestly -- it's so hard for ANYONE to say, "That's outside my competence." That's a real blow to one's ego, no matter how you look at it. And he's done that, which has to have been hard for him, and he's probably right -- I've got an ED, and I know that most Ts can't do much for me -- you almost certainly would get better treatment from an ED specialist.
Good luck, and I do recommend that you discuss all this with him.
