How to Treat Diabulimia?
Diabulimia treatment varies from patient to patient – every person who seeks our help has different needs, preferences, and therapy goals. Nonetheless, you can already learn about the therapeutic approaches we implement at Wellness Recovery Center to combat diabulimia:
Individual Therapy
One-to-one diabulimia therapy is arguably the most effective way to tackle this condition – speak to a
therapist to identify the causes of this disorder and master healthy coping skills to avoid roadblocks in the future.
Trauma-Informed Care
In certain instances, diabulimia is triggered by a traumatic event the patient lives through or
witnesses, which is why trauma-sensitive care can make all the difference for a person in need – you need to address your trauma to heal.
Psychiatric Medication Management
Prescription medication is a well-established part of diabulimia treatment – a psychiatrist needs to be very
careful when recommending the medicine to a person diagnosed with diabetes and possible co-occurring mental health conditions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Challenging negative self-perception and replacing negative thoughts with positive affirmations can help
you break the cycle of self-criticism, accept yourself with all your strengths and flaws, and overcome your struggles.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
We can expand your emotional response patterns and get rid of feelings of inadequacy that have been
holding you back with the help of DBT – this therapy modality is a great solution for individuals who have felt helpless and vulnerable in the face of their diabulimia.
24/7 Medical & Clinical Support
The importance of structure and routine for a person dealing with emotional dysregulation and eating
disorders cannot be overstated – you can focus on healing knowing there are mental health specialists who monitor your health around the clock.
