Eating disorders FAQs

What is eating disorder therapy?

Eating disorder therapy is a specialized approach aimed at assisting those who are grappling with a range of eating disorders. These disorders are significant mental health conditions characterized by irregular or unhealthy eating patterns and an intense focus on body weight and shape. Common conditions addressed in Eating disorders include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID).

How does eating disorder therapy work?

At Thriveworks, Eating disorders begins with a thorough assessment and personalized treatment plan. Central to eating disorder therapy is psychotherapy, often employing cognitive behavioral therapy and other specialized techniques to target negative thought patterns.

Signs of an eating disorder

The signs of an eating disorder can include:

  • Drastic weight changes
  • Preoccupation with food and body image
  • Binge eating or extreme dieting
  • Excessive exercise
  • Social withdrawal and secrecy around eating
  • Physical and emotional symptoms like fatigue and anxiety

What is the success rate of CBT for eating disorders?

CBT’s remission rate, according to some research, is generally between 50-30% for those seeking assistance for eating disorder symptoms.

What is the recovery rate for people with eating disorders?

The recovery rate for those seeking assistance with eating disorders depends entirely on the individual’s involvement in sessions, the severity of their symptoms, and their willingness to change their eating habits and relationship with food.

Therapy for Anorexia and Bulimia – Counselors and Therapists in Athens

As you read through the list of codependent behaviors, did you recognize any? If so, you are not alone. Many people struggle with how much helping is too much, and many people are also seeking therapy to help them learn the difference. Therapy for codependency may focus on:

  • Recognizing one’s inherent self-worth: Self-acceptance can bring a lot of healing. Everybody has both strengths and weaknesses. Everybody is worthy of love and belonging. Everybody can draw strength from their own self-worth.
  • Prioritizing one’s own emotional, physical, and financial needs: When people fly on a commercial airplane, they are always instructed—in case of emergency, secure your own oxygen mask before helping others. The same is true in everyday life. Taking responsibility for one’s own emotional, physical, and financial needs should take priority.
  • Practicing boundaries: Sometimes, people need to tell their loved ones, “no.” Maybe people need to practice disappointing a friend. Possibly, codependent people need to limit the time and attention they give to a family member.

There is no magic formula or special potion that can easily heal codependency, but there is guidance and help. Skilled therapists have helped many people establish new, healthier relational habits.

We can help you work through the symptoms of an eating disorder—simply call our office at (706) 898-3276.

I have had an excellent experience with my Therapist-Kathy Boyce. I have never came this far with therapy because I had therapists that conflicted with my views. Kathy has helped me to learn how to cope with my problems & address myself in my healing journey. It has taken me over 50 years of my life to find some sense of peace & healing. That has only been possible with Thriveworks & my Therapists Kathy Boyce working with Leon my healing journey.

I am very happy with my experience so far with Alexes Davis. She provides gentle guidance while being supportive. I feel like I've made good progress on my mental health journey with her, without ever being pushed in a way that makes me feel uncomfortable. I've been able to move at my own pace, while being taught coping skills, and receiving recognition for my progress. I also appreciate the external tools she's connected me with.

I absolutely love Thriveworks & being able to work with my therapist & do therapy online. I could not stand going to a brick & mortar therapy sessions previously. I also have the best therapist in my opinion. I would not be where I'm at now healing had it not been for Thriveworks & the therapist that works with me.
