Current research on the comorbidity between both disorders agrees that the eating disorders' pathologies are often a means to cope with emotional distress, and Miller et al. (2025) find this to be true in their research as well. However, they also add that targeting these emotions is critical to treatment. One participant interestingly emphasized that binging, purging, or restricting are the only methods that ever provided some form of comfort. Other emphasized the importance of exploring emotions and appreciated the days they had Dialectical Behaviorial Therapy. The aspect they enjoyed the most was the fact that they were able to understand and related to others through DBT, finding a sense of comfort and confidence in emotion regulation. Additionally, one participants discussed how other ED focused treatment did not use emotion focusd langage and instead said, “you eat your lunch” rather than what this participants thought to be more helpful “what are you living or what are you feeling right now” (Miller et al. 2025).
