Went to talk to a counselor about body image issues

I went to a therapist about body image issues but I'm not planning to go back. She says she normally deals with people who actually do need to lose weight and doesn't have as much experience dealing with how to develop a positive body image and dealing with negative thoughts. Plus she's 3 hours away from me, too expensive, etc. She recommended that I google how to improve body image and that I exercise less.

    Haha what kind of counselor is that? She just did you a favor by not taking you in. A counselor would direct you to the right person.
