Thank you for accessing our ARFID self-help resources, which have been developed to support individuals who are, or suspect they may be, struggling with symptoms of ARFID.
These resources have been designed to support you to start making changes to your eating. The course involves learning more about ARFID and the various ways it can present, thinking about your eating and the changes you would like to make, and starting to make small steps towards recovery.
The resources form a 4-step programme, which you can move through at your own pace. The steps include:
We encourage you to take this one step at a time, allowing yourself time and space to feel comfortable and confident before moving forwards. Remember, this is your journey, and you need to move at a pace that feels best for you.
The guide involves a presentation, with a support pack for you to complete as you go along. Within the support pack, there are various worksheets and additional pieces of information. If you see a symbol of a hand/pen in the corner of a slide, it means there is a corresponding worksheet within the support pack for you to complete.
You might also find it helpful to discuss the guide with someone you trust, so they can support you through your recovery journey.
Most importantly, treat yourself with kindness and compassion. It is not your fault that this happened; it is a logical response developed to protect you.
