Here are a few ideas: 1. Regression might be helpful. You could try an affect bridge around the fear to uncover an early scene and then create a parental ego state that would correct the problem. 2. You could use hypnosis to soldify an ideal state for eating, perhaps appealing to other areas of the patients life in which he is flexible. 3. You could displace the rigidity, say to his legs, which would be paralyzed during eating. 4. You could work structurally to "contaminate" the pattern, perhaps by instructing him to play with the foods he can eat, color it with food colors, etc. You could present the case to the Erickson Listserv for comments by other experts.
