Meta-emotion therapy for complex trauma and binge eating: A case study.

Objective: There is a lack of evidence guiding treatment guidelines for individuals with comorbid complex posttraumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD) and binge eating disorder (BED). The article aims to present preliminary evidence to support the proof of concept of novel therapy termed meta-emotion therapy (MET) that targeted maladaptive beliefs about emotions, for this specific comorbidity.

Method: The single case study design involved a 35-year-old woman with a comorbid diagnosis of C-PTSD and BED, stemming from a history of childhood maltreatment, receiving 14 sessions of MET.
