Metacognitive Training for Eating Disorders
The intervention consists of six modules delivered across six synchronous sessions, each lasting up to 50 minutes, over a six-week period, and conducted by a mental health specialist nurse. The intervention includes one thinking styles module, two cognitive flexibility modules, two perfectionism modules, and one concluding summary module.

All sessions are conducted individually via a video-conferencing platform, with materials presented using Microsoft PowerPoint®. Each module incorporates psychoeducational content, interactive exercises, videos, and guided reflection activities.
