The Latest Food Allergy Anxiety Resources

10/13/2019

6 Comments

 
As a licensed clinical professional counselor that works with those managing food allergies, I'm often asked for anxiety management tips. ​Before offering any guidance, I always explain that anxiety isn't always negative, and in fact, is a healthy and adaptive tool that helps us navigate life safely. Sometimes sharing this simple fact offers some reassurance.

However, when people feel that their anxiety or worry are reaching unhealthy levels - that it's impacting daily life or resulting in excessive restrictions of foods, social interactions, or achieving developmental milestones - it's useful to have resources to offer in addition to the work we do in our therapy sessions. 

Below are a few newer food allergy anxiety-focused resources that may offer tangible tools to help understand and navigate allergy worries. ​

1. Allergic Living's "Food Allergy Anxiety Guide"
This special edition digital magazine covers a wide variety of food allergy anxiety topics. Leading food allergy clinical psychology and counseling professionals working within the food allergy community share tips via articles and even podcast conversations. Additionally, you'll read relatable stories from individuals and families managing food allergies.

T.R.A.C.E is an acronym created by Food Allergy Counselor website creator, Tamara Hubbard, LCPC. It's a set of reminders that act as a compass, guiding you back to confidence after experiencing an allergic reaction. Find this FREE handout available for download in the Worksheets Section.
