This intervention is experimental, and the study will test its feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness.

Conditions

  • Disordered Eating Behaviors

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Group Intervention

Participants in the group intervention will attend eight weekly, 90-minute sessions involving group activities and discussions. They will complete homework between sessions to reinforce learning. The intervention focuses on cultivating attunement to bodily sensations and fostering self-compassion to improve physical and mental health.

BEHAVIORAL

Guided Self-Help

Participants in the GSH condition will follow the intuitive eating content through self-guided study, with eight weekly scheduled phone calls with an interventionist (\~20 minutes each). Interventionists will review homework assignments, answer questions, and reinforce adherence. The intervention materials are the same as the group and also focus on cultivating attunement to bodily sensations and fostering self-compassion to improve physical and mental health.
