Heather is proud to say: "I'm no longer an emetophobic" How did she achieve this? The Cure your Emetphobia & Thrive programme by Rob Kelly proved to be the change that she'd been looking for.

Before starting the programme, Heather's quality of life was very poor. She avoided doing normal everyday things that might make her sick or expose her to vomit (emetophobia) and it particularly challenged her love of horse riding, to the point where was getting panic attacks when transporting her horse anywhere. Living on a farm and with her whole life revolving around livestock, it was a massive blow when she couldn't enjoy her beloved horse riding anymore. 

Following a breakdown, Heather's condition worsened and she couldn't even leave the house without suffering extreme anxiety or panic attacks. Even going in a car was challlenging. During this time she was on valium, xanex, anti-nausea medication and various other pills.

Eventually she stopped eating solid food altogether and she lost nearly 40 pounds in a few months, taking time off a new job or working form home. She tried seeing specialists including neurologists but they couldn't find anything wrong. But, as she was to find out, the condition was one she'd created in her mind, meaning she could also be the one to cure herself.

Eventually, she stumbled across The Thrive Programme's Cure your Emetphobia & Thrive book and it changed her life. After studying for a few weeks, Heather made huge progress as she learned how her phobia worked through following the exercises carefully. 

Devised by phobia expert Rob Kelly in 2007, Cure your Emetphobia & Thrive is the most reliable cure for emetophobia worldwide and is the product of Rob's 25-year career in treating phobias and mental health issues. It's not therapy, CBT or medication - but it does help you understand why you have your phobia and how you can beat it. It gives you the tools to win your battle. 

"If you do everything the book tells you to do, it'll change your life. But it changes more than just your phobia; it helps to bring up your self-esteem. I've not had a panic attack in months now," revealed Heather.  

Recently, she saw a girl vomit in a supermarket and it didn't bother her one bit and she's back riding her horse again. Camping, shopping and eating all sorts of food including chicken are all no longer a problem. In short, she has her life back.

Now Heather is planning to start a family, something she never thought she'd do, and cannot recommend the programme highly enough: "Please, please pick up the book..."
