Abstract
Abstract This chapter presents creative exposure-based strategies for addressing the core fears that maintain eating disorders and gives recommendations for integrating these interventions across treatment. It outlines feared food exposures, clarifies their distinction from nutritional rehabilitation, and explains how structured, voluntary exposures can help disconfirm feared outcomes while reducing avoidance and safety behaviors. The chapter examines body image exposures, including situational and mirror exposures, and addresses body checking and avoidance, weight stigma, and values-based adaptations that enhance inhibitory learning. It describes interoceptive exposures that deliberately elicit feared internal sensations to modify maladaptive interpretations and strengthen distress tolerance, and it details weight-based exposures that use weighing to test feared consequences. Finally, the chapter discusses a justice-based framework that counters weight stigma, incorporates corrective psychoeducation, and designs exposures that promote engagement with neutral or positive weight-related experiences.
