What is Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT)?
Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) is an evidence-based therapy that focuses on the connection between relationships and emotional health. Since eating disorders often develop or worsen in response to relationship stress, conflict, or isolation, IPT helps clients address these challenges directly.
At Virtue Recovery, IPT is used to improve communication skills, resolve relational conflicts, and reduce triggers that drive disordered eating patterns. This therapy is particularly effective for bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and co-occurring mood disorders like depression.
5 Benefits of IPT for Eating Disorders
Improves Relationships
Helps clients strengthen communication and resolve interpersonal conflict. Better relationships reduce isolation and provide a stronger foundation for recovery.
Reduces Eating Disorder Triggers
Addresses relationship issues that may fuel disordered eating. By tackling interpersonal stressors, clients learn healthier coping mechanisms.
Treats Co-Occurring Depression
Effective in reducing depressive symptoms commonly linked to eating disorders. Improved mood helps support long-term recovery and emotional stability.
Increases Social Support
Encourages healthier, more supportive connections with loved ones. A stronger support system provides accountability and reassurance during recovery.
Builds Confidence
Empowers clients to assert their needs and establish healthy boundaries. Increased confidence helps prevent relapse and supports lasting change.
