    About this Episode

    It's normal to be left with a variety of thoughts and feelings after an allergic reaction, which sometimes then leads to changes in behaviors and confidence. On this episode, we will explore and share tips to help move through this normal post-reaction phase.

    My guest on this episode is psychologist Fawn McNeil-Haber of Brave Minds Psychological Services in Scotch Plains, NJ.

    Fawn and I explore the following: 

    • Common emotions experienced after a reaction
    • Strategies to help you work WITH feelings rather than fight against them
    • Post-reaction thoughts and what to do about them
    • Moving through physical stress sensations that may mimic reactions
    • Strategies to begin the healing process

    [Tips discussed in this episode can be adapted to work for kids/teens as well]

    Take advantage of two allergy-informed behavioral health clinicians discussing strategies to navigate this common post-anaphylaxis phase! And please feel free to let us know if this episode resonated with you by leaving a rating or review, or by sharing.

    Food Allergies & ARFID: Is It Just Picky Eating?; Guest: Tiffany Taft, PsyD [Ep. 17]

    Food Allergies & ARFID: Is It Just Picky Eating?; Guest: Tiffany Taft, PsyD [Ep. 17]

    Many people have picky eating habits and may even avoid a number of foods, but when do these food preferences become problematic, especially for those managing food allergy?

    This episode explores the answers to these questions and the diagnosis of ARFID (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder) which is a diagnosis becoming more well-known in those managing chronic conditions focused on food intake.

    My guest, gastropsychologist Tiffany Taft, PsyD and I talk about: 

    • What ARFID is AND isn't; 
    • Differences between ARFID & picky eating habits; 
    • When to be concerned about picky eating habits; 
    • The role of anxiety/fear in the development of ARFID; 
    • When to reach out for help with allergy-related restrictive eating patterns; 
    • How therapists, mental healthcare  and medical professionals  should approach ARFID assessment and treatment; 

    To learn more about ARFID, visit these resources: 

    Visit the Rome Foundation's Gastropsych Directory for a directory of providers who understand the diagnosis and treatment of gut brain interactions and functional GI disorders.

    So, You Want to Be an Allergy Advocate or Professional?; Guest: Gina Mennett Lee, M.Ed. [Ep. 16]

    So, You Want to Be an Allergy Advocate or Professional?; Guest: Gina Mennett Lee, M.Ed. [Ep. 16]

    Maybe you're an allergic individual or allergy parent who wants to advocate on a larger scale? Or perhaps you're interested in learning more about what a food allergy consultant or allergy-informed therapist does and how to become one?

    Gina Mennett Lee, M.Ed. and I discuss food allergy advocacy, consulting and counseling, paying special attention to not burning yourself out, especially as an advocate. We offer tips on recognizing burnout, determining your own boundaries, prioritizing your advocacy efforts based on your own values, referring people to others when needed, and prioritizing a balanced approach so you don't neglect areas of your life just to advocate in another one. We also share common questions we get about our roles as a food allergy consultant and allergy-informed therapist.

    Enjoy a game of "Who You Gonna Call" which identifies which allergy professional is best to reach out to in various situations. Additionally, we highlight the need to appreciate/show gratitude for those providing resources/making changes within the allergy community so they feel valued.

    Comparing Moms' & Dads' Experiences - Allergy Parenting Survey Review [Ep. 15]

    Comparing Moms' & Dads' Experiences - Allergy Parenting Survey Review [Ep. 15]

    In honor of Mother's Day this weekend, I'm reviewing the 2020 Food Allergy Mom Experiences survey results to gain better insight into how moms feel about allergy parenting. Additionally, I'll compare the data from the 2020 Food Allergy Dad Experiences survey (which asked the exact same questions), and explore similarities and differences in their experiences. [Be sure to check out Episode 2, which is all about the dads' survey results]

    The survey questions look at:

    • The hardest aspects of food allergy parenting
    • What allergy parenting tasks each parent felt they were more confident with
    • What allergy parenting tasks each felt their partner was more confident with
    • How allergy parenting impacted their relationship (positively or negatively)
    • Tips and insights to share with newly diagnosed moms and dads

    The full anonymous responses from the moms' survey will be available in an upcoming Food Allergy Counselor blog post very soon, so be sure to check that out at: www.FoodAllergyCounselor.com/blog

    Full anonymous responses from the dads' survey are already available here: www.foodallergycounselor.com/blog/exploring-food-allergy-dads-experiences-survey-results

    Open communication with your allergist is crucial - it helps them meet you where you're at and in turn, provides you with valuable guidance and information to help navigate life with food allergies.

    • Benefits of open communication with your allergist or doctor;
    • 3 things your allergist wants you to talk to them or ask them about; 
    • Debunking common hesitations that keep people from reaching out to their allergist with questions or concerns;
