The Scattered Stethoscope

ARFID isn't anorexia. It isn't bulimia. And it isn't just picky eating. In this episode, we get into what ARFID actually is, why old school approaches like clean your plate can do real harm, and what real treatment looks like, including CBT and exposure therapy. We finish with how to be kind to people with ARFID and a section just for the parents.

If you have ARFID, love someone who does, or have ever been called picky in a way that didn't sit right, this one's for you.
