Teacher Claire overcomes a phobia of throwing up and other people throwing up

✨ Here’s the lovely Claire talking about beating emetophobia ✨
She’d had it her whole life and didn’t want it taking up any more brain space. Despite this, she actually wondered if her phobia was severe enough to go through the programme. If you’re in the same boat, remember that thriving is for EVERYONE - a thriving mind can have a positive impact across your life, as Claire found. She was able to nip her emetophobia in the bud, develop a positive relationship with food, boost her self-esteem, and fully process a sudden bereavement that had happened 3 years ago. After the bereavement, she’d created a huge amount of anxiety and health anxiety around herself and other people, which was still impacting her. She would’ve normally been extremely worried during the pandemic, but she no longer has these preoccupations!

She’s also a teacher and, for the past 10 years, explained about her fear of others being sick to every new class she taught. This is the first time in 10 years she hasn’t done that. She was even able to go to the medical room to check in on a student who was feeling unwell - a place she never would’ve previously even gone close to!

“It’s been mind blowing to me…I don’t think I can even talk enough about how much this programme has benefitted me, and I know will continue to benefit me.”

------------------------

Emetophobia is the fear of vomiting/sickness: either yourself, other people, or both. Research suggests 0.1 to 8.8% percent of the population have a fear of being sick (Hout & Bouman, 2011). Emetophobia is a debilitating phobia, which significantly impacts your life: sufferers are chronically anxious and go to great lengths to avoid encountering anything sickness-related, which provides temporary relief but often results in a rollercoaster of anxiety, fear and exhaustion. Issues associated with emetophobia include: OCD, eating difficulties, anxiety-related gastric problems, phagophobia, tocophobia and more. Our goal is to raise awareness of this severe phobia and provide a solution for sufferers and their families.  

You do not need to live with Emetophobia - you can COMPLETELY overcome it - just like all the people in these videos did - all the ex-emetophobes in this YouTube channel used the special Emetophobia version of The Thrive Programme to overcome their phobia. If you are emetophobic, or know someone who is, you can no doubt relate to many of the experiences people share in their testimonials. We hope this reassures you that you’re not alone, and that you do not need to live with this debilitating phobia forever.

The Thrive Programme for Emetophobia (also known as Cure your Emetophobia and Thrive) is the single most successful and predictable method for getting rid of your emetophobia. It has helped over 20,000 emetophobes around the world overcome their phobia.

You can study the programme at home by yourself with a workbook (currently being translated into a number of other languages, as well as a version for the Visually Impaired), a comprehensive online course, or be guided through with a specially-trained Thrive Programme Coach® (face to face or online). Whatever way you choose, the results are predictable, and give you the tools to overcome it, for good.
