Exposure Based Treatment of Complex Eating Disorders: A Multidisciplinary Team Approach to Cultivate Safety in the Midst of Fear
August 2016
Anxiety and fear are common elements of the core features of eating disorders. This broader thinking about what eating disorders are can be particularly helpful in treatment, especially when someone’s level of anxiety is preventing them from participating in their daily lives. Anything based in anxiety requires some level of exposure to the fear, and that is no different for eating disorders. We will discuss what an anxiety based approach to eating disorder treatment looks like and how exposures actually help to reduce fear and create safety.
