“These findings have broadened my conceptualization of IBS patients and provided me with a viable treatment alternative for those patients who have difficulties with emotional awareness and expression,” Dr. Thakur said in the interview.

Future research goals are to determine the types of patients for whom EAET is best suited, explore whether EAET and RT work best when integrated, and identify the best ways to implement brief, psychological interventions in routine practice settings, she said.

The study was funded by Blue Cross Blue Shied of Michigan, American Psychological Association, and Wayne State University. Dr. Thakur reported having no financial disclosures.
