Adolescents with eating disorders face significant health risks such as growth delays, heart complications, and mental health issues. Early intervention is crucial for recovery, yet many teens resist treatment due to egosyntonic thinking. Enhanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT-E) has emerged as an innovative approach that empowers teens by involving them actively in their recovery. Unlike traditional therapies, CBT-E emphasizes understanding the psychological roots of eating disorders and facilitates self-awareness. It provides various strategies for teens to connect their disordered eating with self-perception, recommending tools like self-monitoring to foster meaningful change.
Eating disorders pose serious physical and psychological risks to adolescents, making early treatment essential for recovery.
CBT-E empowers teens to actively participate in their recovery, focusing on internal motivation rather than external control.
Understanding that eating disorders are linked to self-worth allows for deeper exploration and self-awareness, which is crucial for effective treatment.
By using tools like real-time self-monitoring, CBT-E helps adolescents understand the connection between their behaviors and underlying beliefs.
