Check out our new blog post, “Understanding and Treating ARFID” by @rogersbehavioralhealth ✍🏼
“ARFID presents in different ways and can develop at any point in life. For some people, a highly selective pattern of eating starts in early childhood, with avoidance of specific foods or new foods, due to texture or taste. This restrictive pattern may make it hard to eat in various social settings or may impact growth and development.”

Check out our new blog post, “Eating Disorder Recovery at Every Size” by @within_health ✍🏼
“Recovering from an eating disorder is hardly ever a straight path. The journey is filled with ups and downs, many of which come from the physical and mental changes that take place during recovery.
One way to help make the process smoother is adopting the view of “body neutrality.” Just as HAES de-emphasizes weight as a measure of health, body neutrality decouples how a body looks from its worth. Instead, body neutrality asks people to consider what their body can do for them and see it simply as a physical vessel and only one part of who they are.”

MEDA’s ability to HEAL THE WHOLE PERSON is needed now more than ever! Many individuals with eating disorders struggle with co-occurring mental health conditions.
Finding providers who can treat both eating disorders and co-occurring conditions is especially difficult, which results in clients seeing more than one therapist at a time. MEDA, however, is paving the way for healing the whole person!

Check out our new blog post, “4 Strategies to Encourage Eating Disorder Treatment Acceptance” by Odyssey Behavioral Healthcare ✍🏼
“Acknowledging their struggle shows empathy. Saying, “I see how hard this is for you,” can be more powerful than trying to convince them you understand. Validating their experience helps them feel seen and heard, a crucial part of the process.”
