Webinar - Overcoming Resistance – Fear to Freedom ARFID Retreats & Therapy

Why Does The Mind Resist, Even When It Wants Change?

Over the years, I’ve become known for delivering powerful, one-session breakthroughs.

Many clients have seen this on YouTube or experienced it in person. Real transformation can happen quickly when the mind feels safe enough to let go.

And yet… sometimes a part of the mind still pushes back. That’s what this webinar is about. We’ll explore the inner dynamics behind this resistance — the tug-of-war between the part of us that longs for freedom and the part that clings to what’s familiar.

By understanding this, you’ll learn how to recognize, defuse, and move beyond resistance — in yourself, your child, or your clients.

What people are saying about Felix Economakis

So we visited Felix. The whole family went in with my daughter. We found it so informative. For anyone thinking about doing it I would say absolutely give it a try. My daughter is 17, she has autism she wanted to try it. She was resistant in the session, I could tell, Felix could tell. He’s so intuitive. She had a break and didn’t want to come back in but did. She is a typical 17 year old, and is stuck in her ways. This ‘disease’ has her convinced that nothing works and nothing will change for her. She wanted to leave, she got up and sat in the hall, there was absolutely no pressure from Felix at all, he talked to her in the hallway, and had a conversation with us. We left and she was upset, angry and deflated and thought it was a waste of time. It really wasn’t, something has changed. Small subtle changes, her outlook towards food has changed. We stayed in a hotel and she walked in picked up a complimentary water with fruit in, she’s never had anything like that ever. We were in disbelief! Various other small things have happened since the session. For the first time ever we have some hope. We know it’s going to take a Lot of time and hard work from all of us but things will change. Thank you Felix Economakis

I was so sceptical at first, but I can't believe the progress we've seen in just one week after meeting Felix! Last week, we had a virtual session. During the first hour, my son seemed like he was on the verge of tears or wanted to leave the room. I think seeing me prepare the various foods triggered panic. By the second hour, I noticed a noticeable change in his demeanor, but I still wasn’t convinced it would work. By the end of the session, he had tried a kiwi and even took a bite of a bagel. I was just happy he tried something—though I worried it might be a one-time thing. But to my amazement, each day this week he has surprised us! Ich, which was shocking to me since the lunchroom is a loud chaotic environment I am absolutely shocked and over the moon with his progress! After years of feeding therapy, countless meltdowns over eating out, and anxiety-filled dinner times, I finally feel hope. This is the path that could lead him to enjoy food outings with friends and family—something I never thought would be possibe! His safe foods prior were: grilled cheese, dry cereal, apples, cheese pizzas, french fries.

I can highly recommend Felix. I watched his last Webinar and saw him last month and he has made a huge difference to my eating habits and my Arfid. I may have ARFID, but ARFID doesn't have me as I am now in control.
