[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 383242, member: 1233"] Jen, do you still have that list of websites I sent? It might be helpful to at least CALL some of these places. in my opinion your daughter does not have an eating disorder. She has a FEEDING disorder. Their approach is one typically used with anorexia nervosa and bulimia, but it is bizarre to apply it to a phobia. She may force herself to eat the stuff after they say she has lost visitation - by brutally forcing herself to do it. This kind of force will make it HARDER to choose to eat, esp if they take away visitation for the next day. If she refuses at bfast on Mon, she loses visits on Tues. Does she lose visits on Wed if she refuses lunch? How many weeks will it take her to become able to see you if she refuses to eat for two weeks? The whole approach makes NO sense. She is in a psychiatric hospital type setting for a mental illness, but she can ONLY access the majority of the therapies if she conquers her fear on her own and eats? Gee, so the kids we warrior moms drag to therapists should anly take then when they have had good, healthy behavior and not take then when their behavior is off or they have a mental/emotional problem? I don't think anyone would suggest that, do you??? So why is it that it is an appropriate way to control access to therapy groups for a child with a choking phobia? It sure would be interesting to know what they would say in answer if you were to ask that. in my opinion the therapy groups are NOT optional and you need to make them back OFF the solid foods and continue the liquids. PLEASE call the place in that pm that handles feeding disorders. They may deal with mostly younger children, but they seemed to have more of a handle of what this is, from the little bit I read about. [/QUOTE]
