When I moved to Berlin six months ago, I was overwhelmed by the new city and my eating disorder worsened accordingly.
I decided to seek help and make a new start without bulimia.
Ms. Steinke picked me up and made me feel safe from the first meeting. It was easy to feel comfortable with her right away and build trust. During worse phases of the disease, the weekly talks were real bright spots for me. I was able to say out loud all the thoughts that had previously seemed embarrassing or strange, and Ms. Steinke understood me.
Instead of strict rules, I received advice and assistance that I could use as a guide in my everyday life to move away from the disease step by step.
Through her advice and critical questioning, I also began to self-reflect and question what seemed normal and right for me for so long. In the meantime, I have confided in my family and my partner and thus set all the course to get rid of the disease.
Without therapy, I would never have been ready to take this step.
