Welcome to the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, where you get help and guidance through

the chaos of parenting a child with anxiety or OCD.

This show is for educational purposes and is not intended to replace the guidance of

a qualified professional.

Here's your host, Child Therapist Natasha Daniels.

Well, hello there and welcome to another episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast.

To talk to you about how OCD and anxiety can impact eating, and this is probably, I think,

in my opinion, one of the more scarier ways that anxiety and OCD can manifest, because

when it starts to impact their ability to get sustenance in them and keep their body alive,

it can get really scary, really fast.

So I want to talk about, I've done other episodes on RFIP, avoidant restrictive food intake

disorder.

But I wanted to cover a more general topic around the many different ways that anxiety

or OCD can impact eating, because I think sometimes it doesn't get to the point of a diagnosis

like RFID, but it is another theme in the anxiety or OCD category, and it can grow out of control

really fast.

So I want to go over the many different ways that it can show up, and then in the second

half of the episode, we'll talk about some of the ways that you can start to approach

that.

But before I get started, I do want to thank NoCD for sponsoring this episode.
