Eating disorder therapy is a specialized approach aimed at assisting those who are grappling with a range of eating disorders. These disorders are significant mental health conditions characterized by irregular or unhealthy eating patterns and an intense focus on body weight and shape. Common conditions addressed in Eating disorders include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID).
At Thriveworks, Eating disorders begins with a thorough assessment and personalized treatment plan. Central to eating disorder therapy is psychotherapy, often employing cognitive behavioral therapy and other specialized techniques to target negative thought patterns.
The signs of an eating disorder can include:
CBT’s remission rate, according to some research, is generally between 50-30% for those seeking assistance for eating disorder symptoms.
The recovery rate for those seeking assistance with eating disorders depends entirely on the individual’s involvement in sessions, the severity of their symptoms, and their willingness to change their eating habits and relationship with food.
Eating disorder therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of Eating disorders will vary from one person to the next, dependent on their specific needs. Your therapist can help to determine what might be most beneficial for you.
With more and more celebrities opening up publicly about their struggle with bulimia and anorexia, our culture is having important and needed conversations about body image and healthy eating habits. The counselors at Thriveworks Pflugerville understand how bulimia and anorexia can harm a person physically and psychologically, and they have helped many clients find the holistic care they deserve.
There are several different types of eating disorders acknowledged by The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), and anorexia and bulimia are likely the most well-known. While they share many similarities, they are distinct diagnoses, and recognizing their differences is important.
More commonly known as simply anorexia, the DSM-5 gives the following diagnostics for anorexia nervosa:
More commonly known as simply bulimia, the DSM-5 gives the following diagnostics for bulimia nervosa:
While many diagnostics differ for bulimia and anorexia, some are the same. Often eating disorders are accompanied with other psychiatric disorders such as depression or PTSD. Bulimia and anorexia afflict both men and women. People of all ages can develop an eating disorder, although they are most likely to first show symptoms during a person’s teen or young adult years. Bulimia and anorexia also pose serious health threats.
Anorexia is known to cause low blood pressure, low heart rate, abnormal heart beat, heart failure and disease, infertility, disruptions in menstrual cycle, low white blood cell counts, premature osteoporosis, disruptions in the endocrine system, anemia, kidney damage, and ultimately death.
Bulimia is known to cause tooth decay, ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease, kidney damage, constipation, gastric rupture, electrolyte imbalance, and heart failure.
The specifics of how, when, where, and why anorexia or bulimia develop in a person are often intimate and unique. But generally speaking, professionals categorize their causes as two separate types: biological and environmental.
