CBT-E is one of the most favoured and researched therapies for eating disorders.
It means enhanced cognitive behaviour therapy.
If you access support via the NHS (assuming that you are based in the UK), you may well be offered this treatment, particularly if you meet diagnostic criteria for anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa or binge eating disorder.
The approach is described as transdiagnostic, as it’s relevant for several different eating disorder diagnoses.
CBT-E was developed by Professor Christopher Fairburn and his team in Oxford over two decades ago, initially as a treatment for bulimia nervosa but then it expanded out to treat other eating disorders too.
In this episode, I explore CBT-E, my experience of delivering it and considerations for clients. I hope that you find it helpful.
