Holly is a 10-year-old girl with ARFID and a fear of vomiting. While she’d struggled with generalized anxiety for some time, she also developed OCD when her eating disorder began.
Finding the right targetThough Holly had completed some weight restoration in residential treatment, her Equip care team found she needed to be at a higher weight to fully recover, both psychologically and physically.

Diving InFrom the get-go, Holly’s family was deeply involved, taking advantage of all the support Equip had to offer by attending many provider sessions and groups weekly.

Facing food fearsThe family learned tools to help Holly face her fears of food and eating. With time, Holly significantly expanded the variety of food she would eat and was even eating the foods she previously associated with her fear of vomiting.

Adopting a new mindsetIn sessions, Holly’s parents constructively worked through their own internalized beliefs about food. This created a household with a more neutral stance to food that allowed their daughter the freedom to enjoy food—and life.
Back to schoolWhile Holly continues to work through some OCD thoughts, she has returned to school, is spending time with her friends, and got the lead in her school play.
