Gwyneth on youreatopia.com has a suggestion here if you like the guidelines she is offering. You can show the therapist the following:
"So here are my goals for therapy: I need someone to impart techniques and approaches to address anxiety around body image, shape, weight gain and food avoidance. My understanding, as far as I can figure it so far, is that CBT, ERP and/or DBT techniques might be most suitable for me, but of course I am open to further professional refinement or redirection as is needed. I want to make it clear that I need a therapist willing to maintain a concrete professional space and by that I mean that any advice on diet or exercise will not be suitable. I receive professional support in these areas from my doctor and the research I have undertaken on my own steam as well. I am not supportive of dominant and unscientific attitudes of fattism or healthism and I need for the therapist I choose to either share that attitude or at least determine that she is comfortable keeping those attitudes outside of our sessions altogether. Do you think this framework is something that you might be comfortable with?"
