Effects of Reduced Environmental Stimulation on Eating Disorders

"Participants will complete one arm involving four sequential float sessions. Float 1: chair float. Participants will first float in a comfortable chair in the supine position, for up to 90 minutes. The chair is in a room with sound and light attenuation. Orthostatic blood pressure (BP) will be measured before and after each float. Anxiety and body image will be measured afterwards.~Float 2: open pool float. Participants will float for up to 90 minutes in an open pool (8 foot diameter, no enclosure). Orthostatic BP will be measured before and after each float. Anxiety and body image will be measured afterwards.~Floats 3 \& 4: domed pool float. Participants will float for up to 90 minutes in a domed pool the same size as the open pool, with an enclosure wall and 8 foot tall ceiling. Orthostatic BP will be measured before and after each float. Anxiety and body image will be measured afterwards.~Each float will occur approximately 1 to 7 days apart."
