Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Body image exposure

Exposure therapy is a key element of evidence-based cognitive behaviour therapy for eating disorders . Body image exposure intervention involves deliberate, planned, and systematic exposure to the body image. Participants will be asked to stand so that they can see their whole body - far enough back. Participants will be asked to look at their bodies on screen. Participants will be continually encouraged by the facilitator for looking at and talking about the body parts.

BEHAVIORAL

Self-compassion

The self-compassion intervention condition consists of Neff's self-compassion exercises. These exercises are part of the self-compassion intervention condition. Meditation text used in this study is obtained from the following link https://self-compassion.org/category/exercises/.
