Types Of Therapy for Eating Disorders
Family-Based Therapy (FBT)
According to the Paediatric Health Network, family-based therapy is one of the most successful treatments for eating disorders in children and teens. FBT is also referred to as Maudsley Family Therapy to make it distinct from other types of family therapy.
This therapy involves parents or the whole family to help the child recover from an eating disorder. They are encouraged to be a part of the treatment team. In FBT, parents are trained to ensure two components of treatment: one is empathy for the child, and the second is to create an environment where skipping meals is not allowed. In this type of treatment, parents take the lead in implementing changes.
FBT centers around the family meal. Parents take the charge to prepare, serve, and feed the nutritious meals to their child. Parents are empowered to impose the boundaries that children require to heal. They can confidently and calmly manage their child's eating by complying with FBT guidance.
It's very likely that a child with an eating disorder will refuse to eat anything that will make them gain weight; the painful truth is that regular, high-energy meals are necessary for recovery. Parents must realize that the condition is similar to a growing cancer. They are not arguing with their child or attempting to ruin their lives. They are battling the disease.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
It is a modified form of cognitive behavioral therapy. Dialectical means the coexistence of two opposed viewpoints. Because this therapy teaches you to accept your existing situation while simultaneously guiding you to change your negative behaviors. It is similar to accepting reality without feeling pain.
This treatment of eating disorders focuses on recognizing and modifying self-harming behaviors. It encourages you to manage your impulsive reaction to potential triggers for disordered eating behavior. It helps you to understand that disturbed eating patterns, such as purging, bingeing, or food withdrawal, are linked to negative emotional states. Understanding this link allows you to take control of your emotions and pick choices that promote healthier living.
This therapy for eating disorders combines CBT principles with mindfulness to help you manage and regulate your emotional fluctuations and develop coping mechanisms for triggers of disordered eating patterns.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT involves identifying the harmful thoughts and feelings that trigger disordered eating patterns. It equips you with coping skills to challenge those thoughts and replace your negative behaviors with the constructive ones.
In eating disorders, CBT focuses on inaccurate ideas about food, body image, weight, and appearance. Such ideas contribute to promoting and perpetuating unhealthy eating practices.
