The Emetophobia Free Podcast
Five years on and still Emetophobia-Free! Millie shares her story!
Millie is now 5 years on from beating her Emetophobia, she has been sick since overcoming it and is here to give us all an update on what her life is like Emetophobia-Free.
Millie recorded her first video just 5 weeks into the programme.

In this podcast episode, Millie explains that throughout the programme she experienced blips and dips. She found it difficult in parts and had to put in a lot of effort to find comfort in the discomfort. For example, the first time she decided to drink alcohol or eat fish, she created anxiety and felt uncomfortable. However, she knew that she wanted to be able to do those things long term so learning to tolerate that anxiety was essential.
Now, she is able to do those things with no anxiety whatsoever! Millie describes her journey thorough the programme as more of a marathon than a sprint.
Millie then recorded another testimonial video at the end of The Thrive Programme when she had fully overcome her Emetophobia.

In the last 5 years Millie has continued to Thrive and has recently started travelling. She has enjoyed exploring Europe, sometimes very spontaneously which she certainly wouldn’t have been able to do pre-Thrive. One example, Millie gives is that her friend called her on a Sunday and said ‘Let’s go to Ibiza’ and by the Tuesday morning they were on the plane!
She has continued to try new foods and is able to minimise any stress or anxiety when faced with the challenges of day to day life.
Millie is full of energy, adventure and a zest for life and is a total inspiration to other young people out there wanting to live a life Emetophobia-Free!
Huge thank you to Millie for documenting her journey through The Thrive Programme and her life beyond!
Millie overcome her Emetophobia with The Thrive Programme and you can too!

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. The Thrive Programme for Emetophobia (also known as Emetophobia-Free) 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.
