PsychFit Combats Eating Disorders
For the past two years, psychotherapist Jane Baxter Cibel, Ph.D. has been treating patients with eating disorders, addictions and depression using an innovative approach called PsychFit. PsychFit combines psychological counseling with mild exercise such as walking on a treadmill.
"By conducting traditional psychotherapy during exercise and physical fitness coaching, PsychFit improves cognitive functioning at the same time it builds muscle, said Baxter Cibel. 'It repairs habitual negative and self-sabotaging thinking, which feeds depression and drives self-destructive behaviors.'"Baxter Cibel believes that PsychFit works, in part, because physical activity is known to improve a person's mood and self-esteem.
