In general, it\u2019s not the sort of thing which will respond to a few sessions of therapy! It requires highly skilled and sensitive therapists, who are very self aware- often therapists can become burnt out, lose patience and don\u2019t truly listen to the person\u2019s story, applying blanket approaches to treatment. Services should also be set up to provide physical and psychological support under one roof in order to intervene holistically. People with Eating Disorder\u2019s are sometimes, but not always, difficult to engage in treatment, which can lead to discharge from services. If resources allowed, more time should be spent in developing a rapport and motivating the person to want to make changes. Also there needs to be more of a focus on early intervention- where possible supporting a person struggling asap to focus on overall mental health so they do not venture further down the Eating Disorder path.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cdeccf9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cdeccf9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>BMI has a lot to do with a patient \u2018being taken seriously\u2019 by treatment services. In your experience with eating disorders however, have you found that the battle is more mental or physical?<\/strong><br \/>Good question, and of course being a psychologist I will sit on the fence and say it is both and really depends on the stage of the illness and the individual! When someone is severely unwell, the priority often has to be their physical health- research has shown that when someone is so underweight they do not respond to psychological therapy as they are too cognitively impaired. However, that does not mean their psychological health should be ignored and a the importance of a supportive ear should not be undervalued (in some circumstances people are denied individual therapy as their weight is too low). Similarly, someone with a BMI in a \u2018normal\u2019 range or just outside normal, may be struggling psychologically more than someone classed as under\/overweight. With Eating Disorders psychological and physical health are opposite sides of the same coin and it\u2019s important to remember than just because someone looks \u2018better\u2019 from the outside, it does not mean that their body or their mind is in a \u2018healthy\u2019 place.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-15ef150 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"15ef150\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8c916d6 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"8c916d6\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-94c3ada e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"94c3ada\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6fe766f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6fe766f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.m3globalresearch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/cbt.jpg\" title=\"cbt\" alt=\"cbt\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1adbd0b elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"1adbd0b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91bf934 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"91bf934\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">CBT - Cognitive behavioural therapy as a treatment<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-93ac227 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"93ac227\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-04889f7\" data-id=\"04889f7\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ac3359 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3ac3359\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>You practice CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) as a main approach for eating disorders. What are the benefits of this treatment?<\/strong><br \/>I think my approach is actually much more eclectic. CBT has a good evidence base for treatment of Eating Disorders, but in clinical settings it can be difficult to stick to one therapy rigidly. However, CBT can be beneficial as it can support people to consider other ways of thinking. Everyone has certain thinking patterns and styles and these become much more rigid where eating is disordered, particularly in the case of Anorexia. A psychologist using CBT should gently support a patient to discover new ideas and beliefs, which can be tested out, and which ultimately aims to influence a patient\u2019s feelings and behaviours. However, there are many other treatment approaches that are beneficial, such as Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Family Therapy and I am a big believer in the importance of the therapeutic alliance in the treatment of Eating Disorders.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8c89ea7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8c89ea7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Dr Amy Wood-Mitchell,\u00a0 as a psychologist expert in CBT, what do you feel could and should be done to improve the treatment services of patients with eating disorders?<\/strong><br \/>The million-dollar question! Of course, a lot depends on the resources of the service and ideally, people would be able to be seen quickly and for longer. But it\u2019s not just about that- I think often when people have worked with Eating Disorders for some time it can become harder to empathise with the individual and therapists become burnt out. Understanding the person\u2019s perspective and fears about letting go of the illness is hugely important, but also considering what is preventing the person from doing so, such as social factors, significant others or struggles to manage complex emotions in an alternative way. This is a really difficult question and there is so much we don\u2019t know about how to treat Eating Disorders effectively. With reference to the earlier question, integrating physical and psychological services &#8211; like CBT -would be a good starting point, recognizing that holistic treatment is required. But on an individual level, remaining patient, kind, understanding, and optimistic.

Of course there are different types of Eating Disorders are so much more than weight! Although Eating Disorders are diagnosable I prefer to think about them on a continuum. They are many people who do not have a diagnosis but may have maladaptive behaviours around weight\/shape. People who are constantly on yoyo diets, people who exercise obsessively, people who are very controlled about what they eat etc. But I think it\u2019s important for people to understand that someone with an Eating Disorder did not choose to be this way. Sure, they may have initially been an element of choice, such as deciding to exercise for an hour a day to change body shape, but no-one would choose months, years or sometimes even a lifetime of suffering. And once a person is far enough down an Eating Disorder path it can be very difficult and complicated to reverse those thoughts and behaviours.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fe51a26 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fe51a26\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Do you feel that all ED patients respond to the same treatment or should each patient\u2019s treatment be individual and personally catered for ?<\/strong><br \/>Well obviously there are treatment guidelines which suggest the treatments that work best in clinical trials. Clearly there are pitfalls in this process and of course every individual should be treated as such and have some element of choice in their treatment. But with Eating Disorders it can be more complex than that- someone may find it very difficult to choose\/buy into treatment and sometimes when the illness threatens life then sadly an individual\u2019s choices become more limited. However, as a psychologist, I think it\u2019s really important to discover what that person\u2019s motivation is, what would make life worth living, and then work with that. It\u2019s crucial to shape treatment to an individual and where they are at. For example, a person with Anorexia who supports Veganism and who is given blanket advice from the outset to eat meat-based protein with every meal is likely to reject the meal plan. So start with the Vegan meal plan and go from there. I realise that this may be a bit controversial, but sometimes in treating Eating Disorders we need to be more pragmatic.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d0e1180 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d0e1180\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>What is the expected average recovery of an ED patient?<\/strong><br \/>There is research on the course of Eating Disorders, but of course it all depends on what you class \u2018recovery\u2019 as and how satisfactory this is to the individual. For example, recovery based on weight gain is often viewed by patients as unsatisfactory. Some patients fully \u2018recover\u2019, some may dip in and out of a diagnosable threshold for some time, and some sadly experience symptoms for many years. As a psychologist expert in CBT, I always see recovery as a journey and moving towards physical and psychological health.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3d57328 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3d57328\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>What would you advise family of ED sufferers? Do you think they too need therapy to help them cope?<\/strong><br \/>Whether formal family therapy or just support is needed is entirely dependent on the case. And again, this can\u2019t be something which is forced onto families. I do think there aren\u2019t enough support groups or forums for families to access however, and patients and families alike often want to link up with people at a more advanced stage in the recovery journey. Family and\/or significant others often play a big part in the recovery process, so it is key that they understand what is going on for the person and how to help them, but also for their own psychological wellbeing, as caring for a person with an Eating Disorder can be challenging!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5845aa0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5845aa0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Dr Amy Wood-Mitchell, what would you advise a person visibly suffering ED who has comments thrown at them from the small percentage of the general public?<\/strong><br \/>Hard question! Comments about someone\u2019s appearance or mental health can be very upsetting. The response would depend on the person experiencing the Eating Disorder and I\u2019d work with the person to develop something that felt right for them. It would also be important to consider why a comment is made- ignorance? Fear? Sometimes people may not know their comments are hurtful, and these may have particular connotations for someone with an Eating Disorder, such as being told they are \u2018skinny\u2019 or \u2018looking well\u2019, so it\u2019s important to consider this too.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div
