@myarfidlife: Part 2 (make sure to watch Part 1 first if you haven’t seen it) Part 1 was a video of me before my session. Session days are always a big challenge and I get really bad anxiety the entire day. I have a very hard time explaining my anxiety because I don’t even know why I get it. I know my sessions help me so much. Im always so proud of myself afterwards, but leading up to it is so hard. One of my favorite parts after session is coming out of my room and telling my family about my session and showing them how I did with my exposures. During session, the goal was for me to eat a meal, meaning something from every food group. This is something I’ve never been able to do. Because I have restricted for so long, I can only eat small amounts. The goal wasn’t for me to finish the meal, but to eat a little bit of everything. I was able to eat a few chicken nuggets. I tried a blueberry, strawberry, orange, a few sips of lemonade and 3 fries and I was full. This is a great example. When our anxiety is strong and we face it, it is such an amazing feeling. If you don’t face it, the anxiety will only temporarily go away, and just continue to linger and consume us. #therapy #anxiety #exposures #dbt #cbt #feelings #arfidrecovery #arfidaawareness #talktherapy #parenting #kidsanxiety #psychology #nutrition #chickfila #mcdonalds #mentalhealthmatters #parents
