What are fear foods?
Fear foods are foods that the eating disorder has decided are FORBIDDEN.
They are those that (according to the ED) you “should never allow yourself to have” and if you do you’ll “suffer the consequences”. Fear foods are different for everyone but they have one thing in common, they are all “justified “ by a strong belief often delivered by diet culture. If you want to help your child overcome these fears you must first validate them and then find out the “why” behind them. This is just one of the many things I help you navigate in my coaching program.
