I am an obese woman who weighed 500lbs. in 2005 and am 355 lbs. at the present time. I lost weight on my own and have been at my present weight since 2007. I have been under a lot of stress in this last year relating to my financial situation and instead of binge eating the way I use to, I now waffle between over eating (but not binging), and not eating for long periods until I’m too hungry not to eat. I don’t want to be doing either of these. Before I gained my weight I would exercise my stress away and hope to get to that point again but I know it won’t happen overnight. I am considering seeing a therapist except for two things; I am the kind of person who needs to know a person before I confide in them and that is unlikely to happen with a therapist , and more importantly to me, I wouldn’t want my seeing a therapist to be something that my employers or anyone else would have knowledge of. I’ve heard that if you do see a therapist , that your record follows you . Could you please explain to me to what degree does anyone have access to this type of information without my consent?
Thank you in advance.
