Eating disorder therapy FAQs
What is eating disorder therapy?
Eating disorder therapy, also known as eating disorder counseling or treatment, is a specialized form of therapy designed to help individuals overcome their struggles with disordered eating behaviors, body image issues, and related emotional challenges. It typically involves working with a therapist or counselor who has expertise in treating eating disorders.
What happens during eating disorder therapy sessions?
Eating disorder therapy sessions at Thriveworks are tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual and may include a combination of approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), interpersonal therapy, family-based therapy, and nutritional counseling. Therapy sessions provide a safe and supportive space for exploring underlying issues, challenging harmful beliefs and behaviors, developing coping skills, and fostering self-awareness and acceptance.
Is eating disorder therapy effective?
Research has shown that eating disorder therapy can be highly effective in helping individuals recover from eating disorders and improve their overall well-being. Eating disorder therapy from a counselor at Thriveworks can provide you or your loved one with the tools and strategies for managing symptoms, addressing underlying issues, and building resilience. However, the effectiveness of therapy may vary depending on factors, such as individual motivation, treatment adherence, and the quality of the therapeutic relationship.
What types of eating disorders are treated at Thriveworks?
Eating disorder therapy can address a wide range of eating disorders, including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and other specified feeding or eating disorders (OSFED). It may also be beneficial for individuals with disordered eating patterns, body dysmorphia, or unhealthy relationships with food and weight.
How many eating disorder sessions do I need to attend?
The number of sessions you attend will vary, based on your symptoms and the eating disorder you’re suffering from. Some Thriveworks clients may resolve their concerns within a few months of consistent therapy, while others may require more intensive and long-term treatment to address underlying issues and ensure their lasting recovery.
