As such, there have been a number of therapies and strategies developed to help people regulate emotions or achieve more regular emotional functioning. While these techniques vary in approach and philosophy, the common factor among them is helping someone learn to recognize their negative emotions, and finding healthier ways to manage these intense feelings.
Dialectical behavior therapy DBT was expressly developed to help people better regulate their emotions. While first conceived to help people struggling with borderline personality disorder, a mental health condition defined by extreme emotion dysregulation, the therapy has since been adapted to help people with eating disorder diagnoses.
While DBT aims to help individuals develop a more balanced relationship with their emotions, it can also help address the complex psychological issues that are often at the heart of eating disorders. This approach operates on the idea that unhelpful behaviors stem from unhelpful thoughts.
It helps individuals learn to first identify, then redirect, and, eventually, change these unhelpful thoughts, which hopefully leads to a positive change in behavior. When used to treat emotional dysregulation, this approach can help individuals identify and change the thoughts and behaviors contributing to their emotional distress.
The hope is that learning to identify these patterns can help someone more clearly understand their reactions and more effectively manage their emotions. In particular, CBT is commonly used for treating emotional dysregulation associated with an array of eating disorders, anxiety disorders, and other mood disorders.
Rather than attempting to stop or change certain thoughts or thought patterns, the method instead encourages patients to understand and accept their less-pleasant thoughts as part of a normal spectrum of emotions.
The energy that would be used to redirect these thoughts is then instead directed toward building healthier and more positive hobbies, habits, and interests. This newfound psychological space is then used to help them have more measured, healthy, and positive reactions to situations.
The strategy has also been found to increase psychological flexibility, which is an underlying factor of many eating disorders and mental disorders in general.
These conditions are dangerous, and can be deadly if left untreated. This can include your primary care physician, therapist, psychiatrist, or another trusted medical professional. These experts are often educated in a number of disordered eating and mental health conditions, and they can help assess symptoms, make an official diagnosis, or recommend the best next steps for finding treatment.
These services are generally free and almost always anonymous, providing additional information and resources on certain eating disorder behaviors, emotion regulation strategies, and ideas on where to find help.
Regardless, finding support for emotional dysregulation and eating disorders is essential for recovery. The opinions and views of our guest contributors are shared to provide a broad perspective on eating disorders. These are not necessarily the views of Eating Disorder Hope, but an effort to offer a discussion of various issues by different concerned individuals.
We at Eating Disorder Hope understand that eating disorders result from a combination of environmental and genetic factors. If you or a loved one are suffering from an eating disorder, please know that there is hope for you, and seek immediate professional help.

These reactions can manifest in a number of ways, including: Intense emotions: Anger, anxiety, sadness, or irritability are common emotional reactions, which may come on quickly and powerfully and feel difficult to manage.
It is possible that some people with ED may use starvation and malnutrition to escape and avoid unwanted emotions. Thus, there is pressing need to explore and develop interventions targeting emotion regulation difficulties in ED with particular focus on rumination and non-acceptance of emotions.
