CBT-T is a time limited therapy which consists of up to10 sessions plus two follow-up sessions. CBT-T is an evidence-based structured therapy for both adults and adolescents.
The therapy is aimed at people who are at a near healthy weight, or above, and are displaying eating behaviours that are similar to bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, and others.
The aim of CBT-T is to develop a healthy and sustainable relationship with food and your body. From session one, you will need to jump in and challenge your behaviours around food. Whilst this feels scary, it leads to a positive long-term outcome.
CBT-T is spilt up into five different phases:
The above components are applied flexibly depending on your needs. CBT-T is a very intense, active and engaging therapy and you will be required to engage in all aspects of the programme.
The full CBT-T model is up to 10 sessions long. Initially, clients are offered 4 sessions and then a review takes place. This is because early therapeutic change is the best predictor of how well you will do in therapy. If sufficient change has been achieved, we continue with the treatment. Follow-up sessions are given 1 and 3 months following completion of the programme. Follow-up sessions provide the opportunity to practise maintaining the positive changes made through therapy, whilst still receiving support.
