Emotional overload in Bulimia Nervosa: an ERP study of emotion processing and regulation
Our results suggest that people with BN process their emotions with higher intensity and may struggle to implement subsequent cognitive reappraisal strategies when affect is high. This has direct implications for clinicians who should be aware that when evoking affect in treatment, people with BN may need greater support in understanding and managing their emotions. Clinicians may also want to offer distress tolerance skills to reduce emotional arousal before suggesting using cognitive reappraisal skills to manage strong emotions.
