Manchester, England, United Kingdom – March 20, 2024 /Selective Eating/ —

Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is an eating disorder where someone avoids or restricts their intake of certain foods or food groups. This can lead to nutritional deficiencies, people with ARFID can also be normal weight or overweight. Unlike picky eating, which is common among kids and usually fades with age, ARFID is more severe and can last into adulthood. However, ARFID is less well-known compared to other eating disorders like anorexia or bulimia. This lack of awareness can lead to late diagnosis or misunderstandings about the severity of the condition. The 3-Phase Therapy of Selective Eating combines hypnosis, clinical psychology, and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) to assist individuals with ARFID in altering their attitudes about food. 

Selective Eating’s 3-Phase Therapy addresses ARFID’s behavioral, cognitive, and emotional underpinnings. It combines clinical psychology and NLP to reframe unhelpful thought patterns around eating. Hypnotherapy can be used to create new, positive patterns of behavior. Finally, it equips clients with strategies for lasting dietary expansion. 

According to Anthony Tait, the founder of Selective Eating, “Given its relatively recent classification as a distinct disorder, finding specialists who understand and are trained in treating ARFID can be difficult.” “ARFID is not only restricting food, but it also restricts life. It impacts upon your health and wellbeing, your social life, education and career. It can lead to other problems such as isolation and depression.” 

What is ARFID? Previously known as Selective Eating Disorder (SED), “ARFID can be described as a phobia of food,” says Anthony. People with ARFID might stick to a narrow range of “safe” foods. They may feel extremely anxious at the thought of eating anything else. It’s not only the health of the individual that is impacted. Living with this disorder can make it more difficult to join in and have a social life. 

ARFID doesn’t have a one-size-fits-all cause. It can stem from sensory sensitivities (dislike of certain textures or tastes), traumatic experiences related to food (such as choking or severe allergic reactions), or a general disinterest in eating. This complexity can make it harder to identify effective treatments that address the root of the problem. Selective Eating takes a different approach where the therapist uses a form of therapy that addresses the part of the brain that confuses food as a threat to ‘reset’ it. Unlike other therapies where the focus is on food, the ARFID treatment here focuses on removing fear and anxiety around food.
