Written by Tarun Vermani, Trainee Clinical Psychologist Last reviewed
This collection follows enhanced cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT-E) and is grounded in Fairburn, Cooper and Shafran's (2003) transdiagnostic formulation: a core psychopathology — the over-evaluation of shape, weight, and their control — maintained by the same mechanisms across diagnostic presentations. The Eating Disorder Formulation (CBT-E) maps that engine with your client. The early-stage behavioural scaffolding is here too: a regular eating schedule, weekly weight monitoring, and the Food, Mood & Context Diary for real-time self-monitoring.
Broad-module work follows — body checking and avoidance diaries, shape and weight belief experiments, a body image diary, mood intolerance work, the self-evaluation pie chart, and a perfectionism module. Both the transdiagnostic model and the clinical perfectionism model (Shafran, Cooper & Fairburn, 2002) are free to explore as interactive, referenced formulation diagrams.

Eating Disorders
Eating Disorder Formulation (CBT-E)
A formulation based on Fairburn's enhanced cognitive-behavioural model — mapping over-evaluation of eating, shape, and weight alongside maintaining mechanisms.
Eating Disorders
Food, Mood & Context Diary
The core CBT-E self-monitoring tool — record what you eat, when, where, and how you felt, including any binge/purge episodes and triggers.
Eating Disorders
Regular Eating Schedule
Plan and track a pattern of regular eating — three meals and two to three snacks — to establish a predictable structure that reduces binge urges.
Eating Disorders
Self-Evaluation Pie Chart
Examine what determines your self-worth — and how much is dominated by eating, shape, and weight compared to other life domains.
Eating Disorders
Body Checking & Avoidance Diary
Track body checking and body avoidance behaviours, their triggers, and function.
Eating Disorders
Dietary Rule Testing Worksheet
Identify rigid dietary rules and design experiments to test what happens when you break them.
Eating Disorders
Weekly Weight Monitoring
Track weekly weight to observe natural fluctuation and reduce the power of daily weighing.
Eating Disorders
Shape & Weight Belief Experiment
Test specific predictions about the consequences of changes in shape, weight, or eating.
Eating Disorders
Perfectionism Module Worksheet
The CBT-E perfectionism module for eating disorders: map how clinical perfectionism keeps the eating problem going and test perfectionist rules. For perfectionism outside an eating disorder, see Overcoming Perfectionism.
Eating Disorders
Mood Intolerance Module Worksheet
Explore how difficulty tolerating emotions drives eating disorder behaviours — and develop alternative ways to manage intense feelings.
Eating Disorders
Body Image Diary
Track daily body image fluctuations alongside mood, context, and eating — to show that body image feelings change and are influenced by mood, not just body size.

What is CBT-E and which worksheets implement it?
Enhanced cognitive behaviour therapy — the transdiagnostic CBT for eating disorders built on Fairburn, Cooper and Shafran's (2003) formulation, in which over-evaluation of shape, weight, and their control maintains the presentation whatever the diagnosis. The formulation worksheet, regular eating schedule, weekly weighing record, self-monitoring diary, and the body image, mood intolerance, and perfectionism modules all map to the treatment's core procedures.
How does self-monitoring work in these worksheets?
The Food, Mood & Context Diary is the real-time record: intake, context, and the thoughts and feelings around eating episodes, including binge and purge episodes where relevant. Assigned digitally, clients record entries on any device as they go — real-time recording is central to CBT-E's monitoring rationale — and you review them before the session.
Do these worksheets suit anorexia as well as bulimia and binge-eating disorder?
CBT-E was designed transdiagnostically — the same core formulation is applied across anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, and atypical presentations, with extensions for underweight clients in the published protocol. Whether an individual client is suited to outpatient CBT-E — medical monitoring, stepped care, service context — remains your clinical judgement.
