Anita can now live life without anxiety: including being in sickness-related situations!

The Thrive Programme is a doing thing. Although English isn't Anita's first language, by putting the programme into practice she realised she could very simply and effectively overcome her phobia and anxiety. 

She wanted to make a testimonial video when she really felt she was over emetophobia. After having the book for 6 years, and going through the programme 2 years ago, she now feels fully ready to share her story. This summer, despite the global pandemic, she found she could do many things she could never have done before: she ate in restaurants without noticing other people around (before she was hypervigilant to her surroundings as she was afraid of being sick in front of others), she went on holiday and flew by herself, drove with other people in the car, had an MRI scan, danced on stage and spoke in front of an audience. She can eat calmly now, she doesn't mind feeling full or hungry. She was in sickness-related situations with other people and was even sick herself! She would have avoided or panicked about all these situations before but felt so calm in all of them. A thoroughly great achievement Anita! 

It is impossible NOT to overcome emetophobia if you put in the effort and put the programme into practice. It doesn't matter how long it takes, especially when English isn't your first language, when you're there nothing compares to the feeling of being over your phobia and able to live life to the fullest!

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

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.
