Cognitive restructuring
'Cognition' is a word used to denote a thought or belief, and 'restructuring' involves challenging a cognition by looking at the evidence for or against it. The basic idea behind cognitive restructuring is that thoughts themselves are not facts; you need to consider whether the thoughts you are having are true and to consider whether there are any other ways to thinking about a particular situation. At first this can be a real challenge: we often believe what we think and don't question our own thoughts. However, often our thinking is biased, and with perfectionism it can be biased towards thinking too negatively and harshly about yourself.
Thank You
Congratulations!
You have reached the end of the program and are coming to the end of your participation in this study.
We hope you have learnt something new from being involved and if you have suggestions for how the program can be improved, we would love to hear your thoughts.
As researchers we rely on the good will of people such as yourself to take part in trials and to give your time, commitment, and feedback. By being a part of this program you are supporting research in Australia and the UK, helping to provide better care for people at risk of developing eating disorders, and are supporting the growth of this program so it can be offered to a wider audience in the future.
​
For that, we say Thank You
Before you go...
​
Please remember to complete Prolific surveys released weekly. You will also be invited to participate in a follow up survey in about one month and three months' time. This will be the same as the surveys you have completed so far.
Thank you for supporting this initiative.
