I created this image to map out common emotions during the experience of receiving a #foodallergy diagnosis. These then lead to narratives that guide how we navigate this adjustment. The key is knowing we CAN alter these narratives to connect with ones that work better for us!
Thank you for sharing this image, @VenterCarina! Working on my book today, and seeing how much this image from it is resonating with everyone is getting me so excited for when this book comes out. I KNOW it will help so many!

(1) Inspired by @DrTiffTaft's tweetorial on locating a #gastropsych professional, here's a similar tweetorial, but focused on finding providers for #foodallergy psych/counseling. I often receive messages from those looking for allergy-informed clinicians, so this thread may help.
@DrTiffTaft (2) One place to start is the Food Allergy Counselor Directory (FoodAllergyCounselor.com/Directory). Providers listed there have completed an application and identify clinical focuses that include working with those managing #foodallergies and #allergic conditions.
@DrTiffTaft (3) If no providers are listed near you, consider reaching out to FAC providers listed elsewhere in your state to inquire about distance counseling, as some providers offer telehealth/online counseling to residents in their state. (Check ins. benefits for telehealth coverage).
