For the individual to get help to change their habits and their lifestyle, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is included in the treatment concept for AspireAssist™. CBT program runs for six months and includes both group meetings and individual conversations and individual assignments between meetings. Group meetings will cover the following themes: motivation, vision workshop, self-esteem, thought management, stress, learn to eat consciously, prevent and manage relapse. The program uses no calorie reducing methods since there is no scientific evidence that these provide permanent results but are based on CBT. The program is enhanced with awareness and mental training, which are methods that have shown good results in stress-related conditions. Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) in one study has been shown to change brain activity of the participants so that the activity was shifted from the areas in the frontal lobe that is active during stress, anxiety and depression to areas that regulate peace, joy and curiosity.
