Be with her: I agree with dr. Ali's description of the treatment process for bulimia, which can be long and involved. Your role is to encourage her to seek and stick with treatment. Talk with her when she wants to talk about things. Be present. You can educate yourself about bulimia so you're informed about what she's going through.
