>you won't look like a total tryhard fraud
Wait, so this is all about appearances?
>the end goal is to actually end up liking what you do and getting good, rather than just being in it to look 'deep' and 'cultured'.
I don't understand where you got the idea that someone who does not paint with paintings must only be doing it to impress other people. That seems like a conclusion you have jumped to.

Trying to help people is ethically good, but as a budding psychologist, you have to be much more careful. Psychology is supposed to be a science, and scientists have to be very careful about presupposing the solutions to their hypotheses.

This is where I believe you went wrong, because as a matter of fact there is nothing that is necessarily pro-ana suggested by the posts you cited earlier, and as a matter of fact this thread generally takes a negative view of eating disorders in general. People here tell bulimics to stop purging, to fuck off if they seem anorexic, and to lose weight knowledgeably using safe methods. If anything, we are anti-ana, and any decent amount of lurking should have told you this.

Incidentally, "lurking" in the sense of paying attention to what somebody has to say instead of speaking first is going to be perhaps the most important part of being a therapist. I suggest you get that habit down quickly lest your business trips to Conclusions Island convince Billy he's really just repressing some traumatic event that never happened, because that is a real risk for a practicing medical professional.
