What Is Body Image Therapy?

Body image therapy is a therapeutic approach that is supposed to improve a person’s mental image of their own body.
Eating disorders develop for a variety of reasons, and the person’s dissatisfaction with their body is right on the top of that list – you may limit your nutritional intake trying to lose some pounds, spend long hours in a gym to be physically and mentally exhausted, or stay away from certain foods believing they will make you gain weight. Eating disorder body image treatment will target these thoughts and help you deal with the severe emotional distress they cause.

Support of Peers

Group therapy for eating disorders will be a great place for you to learn from other people, share your experiences, hone your communication skills, and cope with loneliness and isolation you may have dealt with due to bulimia nervosa or binge eating disorder.

How Does Body Image Therapy Work at Wellness Recovery Center?

Therapy for body dysmorphia can take place in a private or group setting, depending on the patient – some people get better with the help of a therapist who enables them to recognize how deep-seated psychological issues contributed to their eating disorder while other individuals accomplish more when they connect with like-minded peers and obtain the practical advice to reframe their negative thoughts.
Body image therapy is rarely a standalone treatment, especially when the patient is diagnosed with anxiety disorders or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) – in this case, it becomes an element of integrated care that is supposed to enhance the overall health of the individual instead of addressing a single issue or symptom.
