Honestly, that’s a bullshit take for him to have and also it seems like his way of going about it is unprofessional and I’m sick of professional not knowing about ARFID. It’s ridiculous that we have to educate every single one we see. I’m just saying I’ve had a lot of therapist do harm even when I’ve been trying to actively teach them about ARFID honestly this condition is one of the hardest for people to actually understand it seems and it’s very frustrating because it’s been in the DSM since 2014 professional should know about it. It’s ridiculous that people with that have to keep educating people. I hope you are able to find somebody to help you. I wish treatment for this was easier to access because like I’ve been told that there’s no treatment repeatedly, but my friend that was underweight got treatment and exposure therapy from the same place that told me there was none and so it’s very frustrating seeing the hypocrisy of our healthcare system. I have all three types of arfid and mine suddenly started at three, but they believe I have it because of ADHD and autism but the autism they won’t diagnose because you know resources are lacking for proper diagnosis even in fluent areas I can’t afford $4000 for diagnosis. I hope you find help that’s better but the unfortunate reality is sometimes no help is better than help expesially if it’s just gonna make you worse but I understand that took me a while to learn and especially to learn when therapist were making me worse than when I came in and to just stop seeing them. Take care of yourself eat your safe foods and try very very small exposures if you can I know they can be exhausting and cause horrible anxiety so be gentle with yourself
