ABSTRACT

It is common to be very ambivalent about starting enhanced cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT-E), especially if the eating disorder is of short duration. Therefore, it is essential to be well prepared before starting a programme, and this chapter provides a handy guide on things to do before you do. Specifically, these include reading Part 1 of this book, weighing up the pros and cons of starting Step One, assessing your readiness to start and reading the ten tips on making the best use of the treatment.
