In this skit, Dr. Brad Smith works with a patient using ERP, (Exposure and Response Prevention) which is a component of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). While this video focuses on Eating Disorders, ERP and CBT are used in a variety of mental health treatment programs. ERP is becoming a key component of care for eating disorders at Rogers. This method gradually exposes a patient to feared thoughts, images or impulses and outcome studies show its effectiveness in reducing anxiety and distress over time. The goal of ERP is to expose yourself to your feared situation while you avoid your compulsive behavior long enough that your anxiety decreases.
Exercise is a valuable part of a healthy lifestyle, but is problematic for many struggling with eating disorders. Dr. Brad Smith, MD, explains how Rogers reintroduces exercise in eating disorder Recovery.
It can be difficult to decide where to seek treatment for an eating disorder. Two key points to look for are the use of clinical assessment tools and outcomes. Nicholas Farrell, PhD, Oconomowoc campus clinical director and clinical supervisor of Eating Disorder Recovery, says Rogers’ focus on assessments and outcomes data is the thing that sets Rogers apart as a leader in the treatment of eating disorders.
Oftentimes, when people reach out for eating disorder treatment, their recovery can be further complicated by co-occurring obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Learn the signs a person with an eating disorder could also be suffering from OCD.
Being out in nature, enjoying the warmth of a greenhouse, and working with plants all have a positive effect on someone’s mood and can also reduce anxiety. Because of this, horticultural therapy has been a valuable component of our care across a variety of our treatment settings, but horticultural therapy is an especially good fit in eating disorder recovery.
