Cognitive Therapy for Eating Disorders

Cognitive Therapy for Eating Disorders

Cognitive therapy is an effective treatment for eating disorders, such as anorexia and bulimia. It focuses on changing negative thoughts and behaviors related to food and body image to promote healthier habits.

By addressing underlying psychological issues, cognitive therapy helps individuals develop a more positive relationship with food and their bodies. Through techniques such as cognitive restructuring and behavioral experiments, patients learn to challenge and modify their distorted beliefs about weight, shape, and food.

This evidence-based approach has been shown to be successful in helping individuals overcome eating disorders and improve their overall mental health and well-being.
