http://www.emetophobiaeraser.com Emetophiobia may make you feel that you are losing control but its not the case. Any phobia is an irrational fear, you can use techniques to distance yourself from your fear and cure emetophobia. Thoughts are intangible, they are not real and you can control them.

1. Accepting Emetophobia Has Been The Key To Helping Me
Recover
I do not shout about it from the rooftops but I am fairly open with the people I
love about the fact that I have emetophobia. We talk about it at home and my
parents have been amazingly supportive. I had a really good conversation with my
father, who in the past had a problem with alcohol. Although I do not compare
the two he gave me some words of wisdom based on his own experiences. He
told me that you need to face your fear and accept that it may happen and know
that you will be OK.
I found these words really inspiring and I have been working hard to accept that I
will vomit at some point. Maybe not today, or tomorrow, but it will happen. I see
acceptance as the first step. Acceptance sounds pretty simple but it’s not at all.
Acceptance means that you are looking at your fear head on and saying yes, this
will happen and yes it may freak me out but I will cope. I will come out the other
side intact.
I started on my journey to acceptance around 3 months ago and the first few
weeks were not easy. The first time I tried to believe the words "I will vomit at
some point" it actually gave me a panic attack! After that I realized that I might
need some outside help and I started looking into programs.
I think the biggest problem I had with getting emetophobia treatment was
actually motivating myself to do the additional work. It was so easy when I was
listening to a recording, I felt so incredibly strong and capable. The problem was
at the end of the day, hours after my treatment session when something
triggered my fear and I lost confidence. The strategy that seemed so easy when I

2. first heard and practiced it just seemed so inconsequential compared to my
massive fear. Then I would get into a cycle of avoidance; I got scared that maybe I
couldn’t do it. I think for the first month and a half I felt like I was taking one step
further and 2 steps back.
I am not saying the program I am on has not helped, it has, hugely, but it took a
lot to start believing that I could do it. I very quickly started having faith in the
program; I knew nearly straight away that I felt better. I was slowly breaking
down a lot of my symptoms and I was generally happier. I actually had hope
which was something that previously sounded like a fairy story - lovely but not
something that had any relevance to my life!
My problem was my belief in me; believing that I could back the strategies up. I
am much better at this now. I would not say I am free of emetophobia but I think
I can honestly say I am semi-recovered. I have a lot more trust in myself. I now see
the program for what it is – a tool and a strategy. The thing that will kick
emetophobia is me and I am starting to get to the point where I believe that I can
do this! So for anyone suffering from emetophobia just believe in yourself.
Whichever program you are on is only a tool, the real key to kicking emetophobia
is you!
