CBT-AR (ARFID treatment)

CBT-AR (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) is a structured, evidence-based treatment designed to increase nutritional variety, reduce eating-related anxiety, and address sensory sensitivity or fear-based food avoidance. It includes staged exposure, cognitive restructuring, and caregiver involvement when appropriate. This page features a focus on CBT-AR for ARFID.
