Case study for eating disorders:G is a 26 year old cis-female who presented to session for health anxiety, specifically related to fears of colon cancer. Over the course of a few sessions, G mentions things like she "wishes she was skinnier" and "shouldn't have eaten that XYZ food after work yesterday." After further questioning, G reports she typically binges on food 2-3 times per week, including periods where she will stop at multiple fast food restaurants for dinner on her way home from work. G then tries to restrict her calories significantly the day after a binge, leading her to end up tired and hungry by mid-day, and resulting in her eating more than she intends at lunch and dinner. G reports she hasn't told anyone about her binge episodes, for fear of judgment from others. She is of typical weight for her height and age.
