Live with your body – participants’ reflections on an acceptance and commitment therapy group intervention for patients with residual eating disorder symptoms
Overview
This qualitative study explores participant reflections on an in-person Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) group intervention designed for women with residual eating disorder symptoms and body image concerns. Through thematic analysis of interviews with thirteen participants, the authors identify three main themes: personal effort and self-exploration, helpfulness of ACT content such as mindfulness and commitment, and the importance of contextual factors like group format and timing. The resource is intended for readers interested in qualitative insights into how this specific therapeutic approach is experienced by clients.
