Summary
This trial aims to see if a new treatment called PRIDE can help sexual minority populations with eating disorders by reducing internalized stigma and improving coping with stress. Participants will go through screening processes, attend therapy
Who is the study for?
This trial is for sexual minority individuals diagnosed with eating disorders. Participants must complete a phone screening, a clinical interview to confirm their diagnosis, and self-report measures for eligibility. They cannot have other non-eating disorder diagnoses that could interfere with the study.
What is being tested?
The PRIDE intervention is being tested to see if it can reduce internalized stigma and improve coping with stress related to being a sexual minority. It involves up to 14 weekly therapy sessions focused on addressing eating disorders and body image issues while enhancing resilience against minority stressors.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves psychological therapy rather than medication, side effects may include emotional discomfort or distress when discussing sensitive topics like stigma and personal challenges related to one's sexual identity.

Group I: PsychotherapyExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants in this arm will experience the PRIDE intervention. PRIDE is a 14-session treatment that incorporates aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy for eating disorders (CBT-E) and SM-affirmative therapy. CBT-E aspects of treatment include in-session weighing, self-monitoring (food logs), regular eating, and techniques to address overvaluation of weight and shape. SM-affirmative therapy techniques include discussing the impact of minority stress on health, resilience, and strength within the SM community, specific manifestations of minority stress on eating and body image, current coping strategies, emotion regulation skills, and developing mindful, present-focused reactions to minority stress.
