The evidence-based practices driving sustainable recovery

 

Healing With Proven Methods

At Ianthe House, recovery is guided by science and shaped by compassion. Our evidence-based practices combine somatic and psychodynamic therapies with personalized tools like progress tracking and daily support. These methods aren’t just clinically effective—they’re transformative, helping women reconnect with themselves, regulate their emotions, and build lives beyond their eating disorders.

The Foundations of Evidence-Based Recovery

What Are Evidence-Based Practices?

Evidence-based practices are grounded in research and validated through clinical experience. At Ianthe House, they form the backbone of our programs, offering a structured yet flexible framework tailored to the unique needs of high-functioning women.

A Holistic Approach

Our methods address every aspect of recovery:

  • Somatic practices for embodied healing.

  • Psychodynamic therapy for deeper emotional insight.

  • Mindfulness and EFT for emotional regulation.

  • Journaling and progress tracking for self-awareness and growth.

Key Therapies in Our Evidence-Based Approach

Somatic Practices: Reconnecting Mind and Body

Somatic therapy helps participants bridge the gap between emotional and physical experiences. Techniques like grounding exercises and body scans promote awareness, releasing trauma stored in the body and reducing physical manifestations of stress.

Psychodynamic Therapy: Understanding the “Why”

Psychodynamic therapy explores the unconscious patterns driving disordered behaviours. By uncovering and addressing the root causes of emotional pain, participants gain insight and develop healthier coping strategies.

EFT: Releasing Emotional Blockages

Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) is a cornerstone of our approach, helping participants process and release difficult emotions. Through tapping techniques, EFT reduces cortisol levels, calms the nervous system, and allows participants to reframe negative thought patterns.

Pilot Insight: Participants who engaged with EFT reported a 22% reduction in anxiety levels and significant improvement in emotional regulation within six weeks.

Tools for Tracking Progress and Deepening Insight

Progress Tracking: Measurable Growth

With tools like Mind Data, participants track their emotional and behavioral patterns over time. This quantitative feedback provides actionable insights, allowing participants and therapists to adapt care plans for optimal results.

Journaling: A Journey of Self-Reflection

Journaling creates a safe space for participants to explore their thoughts and feelings. Guided prompts help uncover hidden emotions, celebrate progress, and clarify recovery goals, deepening the connection between action and insight.

Personalised Daily Support

Daily WhatsApp check-ins ensure participants feel supported between sessions. These personalized messages offer encouragement, reminders, and gentle accountability tailored to each individual’s journey.

Why Evidence-Based Practices Matter for Long-Term Recovery

Addressing Root Causes, Not Just Symptoms

Unlike quick fixes, evidence-based practices go beyond surface-level solutions, helping participants uncover and heal the emotional and psychological roots of their eating disorders.

Building a Resilient, Recovered Life

These methods equip participants with tools for self-regulation, resilience, and relapse prevention, empowering them to maintain progress long after their program ends.
