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.
A number of factors can cause an eating disorder. Environmental factors, like cultural expectations about body image, can play a part. People often feel pressure to conform their body to random standards of beauty, and this pressure create an environment that is conducive for eating disorders. Childhood abuse, trauma, and family stress can also be causes of eating disorders. As people try to cope with psychological pain, they may gain control in any way they can, even in self-destructive ways. People can also have a genetic pre-disposition for an eating disorder. Their biology can raise their risk for this mental illness.
This multi-faceted illness often requires treatment that is multi-faceted. Because eating disorders attack people’s mind and body, physicians, nutritionists, and therapists often work together to formulate a treatment plan. At Thriveworks Phoenix, our mental health professionals have helped many clients find the holistic treatment plans they need. We understand the risks of bulimia, anorexia, and other eating disorders, and we also understand the interventions that are available to those who suffer. Reach out today to get started.
When people recognize eating disorders for what they are—serious mental illnesses—they may be able to seek early treatment. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) outlines the symptoms for bulimia and anorexia.
The DSM-5 summarizes anorexia’s symptoms as the following:
