Therapy exposure for teens with low weight eating issues
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a structured therapy approach called “interoceptive exposure” for teens who have an eating disorder with low weight. It may help some teens reduce fear or avoidance around body sensations and improve eating, but you must meet several health and safety criteria.
