[QUOTE="Josie, post: 383264, member: 1792"] I agree with you considering medications to help you think more clearly. Based on my experience with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and even common sense, I don't like their approach. It doesn't make sense to miss therapy because she isn't eating when that is why she is there in the first place. She is there to get therapy so she can eat. From an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) perspective, it also doesn't make much sense to have group therapy unless everyone is talking about their exposures, what feelings they are having around those, and how they are handling it. In an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) scenario, she would have a therapist with her 1 on 1 while she is eating and they would work with her on seeing that she could handle her anxiety even if she did eat something. They would start small and praise her for small steps instead of punishing her for not meeting big steps. They would get her to agree to take small steps that she could handle and work up. I realize they are not treating her for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) so maybe that is all irrelevant. Maybe their treatment does work for kids with food phobias. I am in no position to know. You are the best person to know the situation and know what is right for your daughter. And you do have to consider what other options you have. I agree with Smallworld about giving her the right medications to lower her anxiety. Whether you will be able to convince them they are not doing that right now is another problem. [/QUOTE]
