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.
Food can be a wonderful thing. It gives us pleasure, nourishes our bodies, and brings us together with our friends and family. But food can also become an obsession. According to the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAD), up to 24 million people suffer from an eating disorder in the U.S., and only 1 in 10 receive treatment. If you need treatment, reach out to an eating disorder therapist or psychologist at Thriveworks in Westborough in Worcester.
There are three main types of eating disorders, each with their own unique symptoms and challenges.
Bulimia is characterized by frequent bouts of binge eating, followed by attempts to compensate by purging or excessive exercise in order to prevent weight gain. Symptoms of bulimia include:
When you’re struggling with bulimia, you may feel like you’re stuck in a vicious cycle where you’re constantly trying to compensate for your overeating.
Anorexia is characterized by taking extreme measures to avoid gaining weight, such as starving oneself and exercising excessively. Left untreated, it can be life-threatening. Symptoms of anorexia include:
Anorexia can have a severe impact on your mental and physical health. It’s important to seek help as soon as possible.
Most people are familiar with the term “comfort food.” Food can be comforting when you’re feeling sad or lonely. It can be a seductive way to put off dealing with difficult emotions. For example, after a stressful day at work, you come home and eat an entire package of chocolate chip cookies. You feel better — but for how long? It’s only a matter of time before the guilt and shame set in. Symptoms of binge eating disorder include:
BED sounds similar to bulimia, but one important difference is that people with BED don’t try to undo the bingeing through exercise or purging.
Food is an essential part of life, but it’s not everything. It doesn’t have to be the first and last thing you think about each day. You can learn to live in harmony with food. Once you do, you’ll feel better physically and emotionally. More importantly, you’ll be able to once again focus on the things that bring you happiness — your hobbies, your family, your friends.
