Temperament-Based Therapy with Supports (TBT-S)
Temperament-Based Therapy with Supports TBT-S at Mind Body Well
Temperament-Based Treatment with Supports (TBT-S) is an emerging approach used by Psychologists and Clinical Psychologists at Mind Body Well to support people experiencing eating disorders. TBT-S recognises that individual biological and temperament factors contribute to the development and maintenance of eating difficulties, and focuses on understanding and working with these personal traits, rather than against them.
This approach involves not only the individual person but also their support network, such as family or close friends, to create an interpersonal environment that fosters recovery. By understanding temperament traits such as anxiety, perfectionism or impulsivity, TBT-S helps people and their support systems develop strategies to work with these traits constructively.
If you or a loved one is struggling with an eating disorder, our Psychologists and Clinical Psychologists at Mind Body Well can provide expert guidance. Therapeutic approaches are determined in consultation between the Psychologist and client, after a thorough assessment has been conducted.
