That is a good technique. The therapist who wrote What Happy People Know talked abotu that. I don't remember what that therapeutic technique is called anymore. He has a very nice story in there about an anorexic or bulemic girl who was brought in. He didn't focus on her eating disorder but instead asked her about what she loved. One of these was her dog, and he brought the dog in for her. After a few days, he asked her if she would ever consider witholding food for the dog? She said no, horrified and then understood what she was doin to herself. Nice story, dunno how applicable it it.
To OP, you can try out a technique for a while, then try another and see what gets the best results. I would also suggest consulting with therapists. Good Luck
