Amazing 10-Year-Old Summer Beats Emetophobia!
The wonderful 10 year old Summer has just completed the Emetophobia-Free programme and is now completely over her fear of being sick!
Summer was supported on her journey by her mum Susan and they have both kindly taken the time to join us on the podcast to share their experience.
Susan describes how difficult life was as a family when Summer was suffering from Emetophobia. Summer started to show symptoms around the age of 5 when she wasn’t keen to be in the car, was openly scared of the idea of being sick herself and would become visibly distressed when others around her were sick. Summer’s symptoms escalated to the point where she was lashing out, self-harming, wearing sick bands daily, running away from school, struggling to leave the house and get through normal day to day activities.
After trying lots of different interventions with little success, Summer and Susan both fully committed to the children’s Emetophobia-free programme (in which the parent works through the adult manual alongside their child) and in just 15 weeks Summer has gone from battling through each day to being Emetophobia-Free and loving her life!
Susan describes how she was initially doubtful and didn’t believe the programme could work but is now 'eating her words’ as she finally has her little girl back.
Susan and Summer both worked incredibly hard to get to where they are now and wanted to join us on the podcast to encourage any other families struggling with this phobia to reach out and get the help they need.
Susan: ‘In one word the programme is amazing…. it really is life-changing.’

------------------------
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.
