 Who is this for:

Resistance actually applies to any issue not just ARFID but there will be emphasis on ARFID because most of the people attending are parents of children with ARFID.

1. Primarily parents/caregivers - understanding why your child will resist change even when they agree change is better and are even desperate for it, whether with ARFID or other resistance
2. adults with ARFID and other resistance to change
3. If the child is mature enough and wants to find out what their mind is doing and why, then it would greatly help them too.
4. This would also help other therapists to understand the dynamics of resistance
