BEHAVIORAL

Internet-delivered CBT

The Internet-delivered exposure treatment is based on the well-established internet-delivered CBT-treatment for IBS in adults, adapted for adolescents with FAP/FD and their parents. Main component in the treatment is exposure for symptoms. The purpose of the treatment is to reduce fearful and anxious responses to symptoms and lessen avoidance of symptoms in the adolescents, and to teach the parents how parental behavior can influence symptoms in children as well as how to support exposure. Detailed behaviour analysis is made for each individual and instruction is given on how to gradually expose to symptoms to lessen fear for symptoms and widen the behavioral repertoire.
