As a parent, navigating your child’s eating disorder recovery can be an overwhelming and emotional journey. At Resilience Therapy, we understand the importance of finding the right therapeutic approach for your family. By combining Family-Based Treatment (FBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), we offer a comprehensive and evidence-based treatment plan tailored to your child’s unique needs.

Understanding FBT and DBT

Family-Based Treatment (FBT) is an evidence-based approach that involves the entire family in the recovery process. It empowers parents to take an active role in their child’s treatment, providing them with the tools and support they need to help their child overcome their eating disorder.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is another evidence-based therapy that combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices. DBT focuses on four key skill areas: mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills help individuals better understand and manage their thoughts, feelings, and actions, promoting healthier choices and improved relationships.

The Compatibility of FBT & DBT: A Powerful Combination

FBT and DBT complement each other well, providing a comprehensive approach to eating disorder treatment. Here’s how these two therapies work together:

FBT focuses on parental involvement and support, while DBT emphasizes the development of individual skills. By combining both approaches, treatment can address both the family dynamics and the individual needs of the person with the eating disorder.
DBT skills can enhance the effectiveness of FBT by helping parents and children better manage emotions, communicate more effectively, and cope with distressing situations.
Both FBT and DBT prioritize collaboration and validation, creating a supportive therapeutic environment that fosters trust and open communication.
FBT and DBT can be tailored to meet the unique needs of each family, allowing for flexibility and customization of treatment plans.
