Digital Therapy

Digital Therapy

InsideOut Digital Therapies offer free, self-guided, evidence-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help individuals better understand and manage eating disorder symptoms.

Digital therapy has been designed and tested with individuals aged 16 and over, who are experiencing binge eating symptoms. The online program consists of 4 to 10 sessions and is immediately available to people within Australia.

Online therapies provide a way to overcome barriers to healthcare, such as geographical constraints, financial challenges, stigma, and limited access to specialised treatment. They can be used at home, as interim support while on a waitlist, or as a supplement to community-based treatment.

Clinical e-therapies can be a valuable adjunct to clinical practice but should not replace clinical diagnosis, in-person intervention, or GP-led care.

Further, the InsideOut Digital Therapy is not suitable for everyone, particularly individuals with serious medical or psychological symptoms, including:

  • Those who are medically unstable, have experienced rapid weight changes (gain or loss), or are severely underweight (BMI < 18.5).
  • Those who are currently suicidal or at risk of harming themselves or others.

Additionally, the current Digital Therapies have not been tested for and are not recommended for individuals:

  • With a diagnosis of Anorexia Nervosa, Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder, Pica, Rumination Disorder, or Body Dysmorphia.
