A One-Day ACT Workshop for Emotional Eating

McGill University·interventional·Posted Nov 16, 2018·Updated Nov 14, 2019

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating ACT Workshop for Emotional Eating for Emotional Eating and Eating Behavior. Completed, enrolled 32 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Emotional eating is a behaviour that has been linked to weight concerns, mental health concerns, and disordered eating. Effective interventions have been developed to treat emotional eating, however these exist solely in the context of promoting weight loss. Emotional eating is not exclusive to those who struggle with weight and thus interventions are needed that target those who engage in emotional eating regardless of their weight status. The present study aims to do so through the implementation of a one day Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) workshop for emotional eaters.

Interventions

ACT Workshop for Emotional Eatingbehavioral

This is a one-day intervention using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) technique to target and reduce emotional eating. The intervention will be modeled after Frayn and Knäuper's (2016) brief emotional eating intervention, which was derived from Forman et al.'s (2013) "Mind Your Health program". During the workshop, the following topics will be discussed, based on the three processes of ACT: (1) values clarification/commitment, (2) acceptance/distress tolerance, and (3) mindfulness/awareness.
