How I beat Emetophobia, built a career in healthcare and effectively manage my autoimmune disease.
As an occupational therapist, Hannah is faced with many people who are sick regularly. When she had Emetophobia, Hannah would escape these situations due to the fear she was creating. Hannah also experienced contamination OCD, IBS, trouble sleeping and continuous nausea which affected her all through her younger years. Hannah would sanitise her hands continuously and would inspect her food before eating it.
Hannah began the Emetophobia Free coaching in summer, and was thriving by Autumn!
The first time Hannah recognised her progress, she was doing an intense exercise class. This had caused her to feel nauseous, however she was able to prevent herself from panicking!
From here, when affected with a stomach bug, Hannah didn’t let the anxiety control her, she just said ‘oh well’ and moved on!
Now she is Emetophobia free, Hannah does not create anxiety when someone at work is physically ill. She knows that this is just another part of her day, and that she is able to control her feelings and reactions.
Hannah developed an autoimmune disease after overcoming her Emetophobia and believes that the Emetophobia-Free Programme enabled her to handle the symptoms and overall life change of her autoimmune disease much more effectively than if she had the two co-existing.
Hannah was able to independently find a meal plan than worked for her, and knew she would cope with the outcome regardless. Once she learned the skills she needed to cope, she was provided with the power to tackle any obstacles thrown her way including any gastro related symptoms. Hannah's experience was so life-changing that she trained to become a Thrive Programme Coach and is now helping others overcome their fear.

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.
