What is DBT for Binge Eating and Bulimia?
DBT is empirically proven to help people with Binge Eating Disorder and Bulimia Nervosa regain control and self-assurance around their eating (based on the model developed by Debra Safer, MD, Christy Telch, Ph.D and Eunice Chen, Ph.D). DBT recognizes that there are habits and behaviors surrounding food that can be difficult to change, and that these are usually coping strategies for strong negative emotions. This is a group therapy program in which members learn and practice essential skills to tackle out-of-control emotions and eating habits, and replace them with mindful and effective ways of coping.
