Comorbidity of Eating Disorders and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: Eating Disorder ERP Methods: Body Image

The eating disorder ERP plan also helps patients with their perceptions of their bodies. This involves exposing them to parts of their body that they're insecure about and helping them to resist compensatory behaviors. For example, therapists could have a patient stare at themselves in the mirror and challenge them to resist the urge to restrict their food or partake in excessive exercise.
