Overvaluation of Shape & Weight — Pie Chart
The CBT-E core intervention on one page
In CBT-E, over-evaluation of shape and weight is the engine of the disorder. This pie chart makes it visible: what percentage of the client's self-worth is currently coming from shape / weight / control of eating — versus everything else in a life worth living. The gap is the treatment plan.
