What does cognitive behavioral treatment for eating disorders involve?
Cognitive Behavioral Treatment (CBT) is a psychotherapy that involves a strategy to modify thinking pattern. In eating disorders, CBT evolves the negative and self-defeating thoughts into affirmative and self-worthy thoughts. This helps an individual eat healthy and enough to fulfill their energy requirements as well as meet weight goals. Negative thought example: “I can’t eat this food. It is too much and I will vomit.” Positive though example: “I will eat this meal to attain my weight goal.”
