MANTRA - The Maudsley Approach

In this weeks episode, Han is joined by Dr Nicky Gilbert. Nicky provides private eating disorder treatment, supervision to eating disorder clinicians and trains clinicians in the Maudsley MANTRA approach. MANTRA is an integrative therapy which was designed at the Maudsley hospital in South London. MANTRA aims to address the cognitive, emotional, relational, and biological factors which keep individuals stuck in anorexia, and aims to uncover more productive coping mechanisms for the individual. With Nicky, we begin by discussing her carer and how this has developed over the years. We then begin to talk about MANTRA, including topics such as the workbook, activities, the process, and who it is suitable for and the scope for new workbooks.We discuss how MANTRA is tailored to the individual, and provides you a tool to go forward in your recovery, to reflect upon, and the role of a therapist.
