Topic 8.6
How does cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) address dysfunctional thought patterns associated with bulimia nervosa?
CBT disregards dysfunctional thought patterns and focuses solely on regulating emotions related to food intake.
CBT helps individuals recognize and change destructive thoughts that lead to unhealthy behaviors such as binge eating and purging.
CBT does not focus on changing thought patterns but instead teaches mindfulness techniques only.
CBT solely targets the physical symptoms associated with bulimia, such as weight loss or gain.
