TBT-S, or Temperament-Based Therapy for Eating Disorders with Family Support, is a treatment approach that recognizes the important role that family and caregivers play in the recovery process of individuals with eating disorders. It uses experiential therapy to help individuals understand how their eating disorder symptoms are related to their temperament, which includes factors such as biology, brain functioning, genetics, and personality traits.

The training for TBT-S is highly regarded and has been described as engaging and thought-provoking by those who have participated in it. Many clinicians have also reported that it is some of the best professional development they have ever taken.

For an easy to understand explainer or TBT-S, we recommend visiting this page from the InsideOut Institute.
