Your questions, answered
What is eating disorder therapy?
Eating disorder therapy is a specialized form of treatment that addresses the complex psychological, behavioral, and emotional aspects of eating disorders like anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder. It combines evidence-based approaches to help restore healthy eating patterns, challenge distorted thoughts about food and body image, and develop sustainable coping strategies for long-term recovery.
How does eating disorder therapy work?
Therapy typically begins with stabilization and safety planning, then progresses through stages of challenging eating disorder behaviors, processing underlying emotions and trauma, and building relapse prevention skills. Sessions focus on meal planning support, cognitive restructuring, emotion regulation, and developing a healthy relationship with food and body image.
What approaches are used in eating disorder therapy?
Common therapeutic modalities include CBT therapy for challenging distorted thoughts, DBT therapy for emotion regulation skills, ACT therapy for values-based living, Family-Based Treatment (FBT) for adolescents, and trauma-informed approaches when applicable. The specific combination depends on the type of eating disorder, severity, and individual needs.
What can I expect during eating disorder therapy sessions?
Sessions typically involve exploring your relationship with food, identifying triggers and patterns, practicing meal planning and eating strategies, processing emotions and underlying issues, and developing coping skills. Therapy is paced according to your readiness and may include exposure exercises, mindfulness practices, and body image work as appropriate.
How long does eating disorder therapy take to be effective?
Recovery timelines vary significantly based on the eating disorder type, severity, duration, and individual factors. While some people notice improvements in thoughts and behaviors within weeks, comprehensive recovery often takes months to years of consistent therapy. The process is typically non-linear, with periods of progress and setbacks being normal parts of healing.
