Well Equipped may help, if you identify with any of these experiences or diagnoses: Emotion Dysregulation, Interpersonal Hypersensitivity, Behavioral Impulsivity, Borderline Personality Disorder, Depression, Anxiety, Eating Disorders, Substance Use Disorder and Trauma. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based psychotherapy that was originally developed to treat complex, multi-problematic suicidal patients that has since been expanded upon and proven to be incredibly effective with a wide spectrum of mental health symptoms. At its core, DBT emphasizes a synthesis of both acceptance and change. Skills-training in DBT is an approach to give you the needed skills to get what you want out of life and better modulate your distressing emotions. In fact, you may end up feeling proud of yourself, strengthening the relationships in your life that are meaningful to you and being excited about what might happen next.

We offer proven cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT) by experts for anxiety-related problems including obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), panic, social anxiety, chronic worry, and impulse-control issues (hair pulling, skin picking). Our directors have been trained by recognized national experts in the field. The Reeds Center offers intensive or weekly sessions depending on the needs of a particular individual. Research has shown that symptom reduction is most rapid when sessions occur from two to five times per week for up to two hours per session. We generally suggest starting with a higher frequency and intensity of sessions in order to build and maintain momentum and to see change more rapidly. While the financial and time costs of engaging in intensive treatment can be challenging, many individuals choose this option. Some need this level of support in order to make gains with a severe illness. Others travel from out of town and/or utilize breaks from school or work to lay a solid foundation for recovery within a short time period.

Eating Disorders Treatment Centers

What happens in therapy for eating disorders?

In therapy for eating disorders, patients typically describe their eating and exercise behaviors, their patterns of eating in relation to stress, their beliefs about their body, the ways their eating behavior affects their relationships, and their desire (or lack of it) to change. Such information helps the therapist understand the origins of the disorder and the role it plays in the patient’s life, important for guiding treatment. Attitudes and feelings about food and eating, body weight, and physical appearance are common topics of discussion throughout treatment.

What therapy types help with eating disorders?

Once any acute medical or psychiatric emergency is resolved, psychoactive medication is often prescribed, requiring the supervision of a psychiatrist. In addition, patients receive some form of nutritional counseling along with one or more forms of psychotherapy. For adolescents, family-based treatment is empirically validated and considered the first line of treatment; parents and their children meet weekly with a clinician as the adults are coached on how to nourish and psychologically support the young patient. Adults typically receive some form of individual psychotherapy, intended to resolve the cognitive and behavioral disturbances that underlie the disorder and to relieve the mood disturbances that accompany it. In addition, patients may also be helped by group therapy.

What is the goal of therapy for eating disorders?

The most immediate goal of treatment for eating disorders is to save the life of people who are on a path of starving themselves to death or engaging in eating patterns that are doing irreparable physical harm to their body. Once the acute medical danger is past, therapy is required to understand the nature of the disordered eating and/or exercise patterns, establish healthy eating behavior, and to tackle the many erroneous beliefs and distorted self-perceptions that underlie eating disorders and continue to pose a threat to health and life. Therapy also addresses the impaired mood that not only accompanies eating disorders but intensifies the danger to health and life.

What are the limitations of therapy for eating disorders?

Therapy can be very helpful for eating disorders—but that can happen only after people recognize they have a condition that must be treated. Especially with anorexia, the distortions in self-image that accompany the disorder can keep people from acknowledging they have a problem. Individuals may in fact see their eating disorder as a badge of self-control. Those with binge-eating disorder may feel too ashamed to seek help. Therapy cannot help those who do not avail themselves of it.

How long does therapy last for eating disorders?

Because of their complexity, recovery from eating disorders is usually a long-term process—measured in months and years— often marked by setbacks and relapse. Some form of help, such as individual or group therapy, may be advisable for much of that time. It is a general rule of thumb that the longer the illness has endured and the dysregulated eating behavior has taken root, the longer treatment is likely to be needed.
