Why Chronic Illness Won’t Stop You from Overcoming Emetophobia
We receive many emails from people who are suffering from Emetophobia alongside a diagnosed medical condition (IBS, Crohn's disease, POTs, Celiac disease to name but a few). Many are concerned that their diagnosis will stop them from overcoming the Emetophobia and so are reluctant to engage in the programme.
In today's episode, Sam Marker and Michelle dive into why a medical condition is not a barrier to you overcoming Emetophobia and how the programme will ultimately help you to manage the symptoms of your condition.
Sam herself is diagnosed with a nervous system disorder that shares some of the symptoms of Emetophobia. By going through the programme, Sam was not only able to completely overcome her Emetophobia but is now able to confidently manage the physical symptoms of her disorder.
Before the programme, Sam was unable to differentiate which physical symptom was Emetophobia/anxiety induced and which was a medical condition but since overcoming her phobia she has gained true clarity.
Sam discusses the nervous system condition which affects all parts of her body; her temperature, heart rate, digestive system, limbs and various other areas. When experiencing emetophobia panic attacks, Sam would struggle to regulate any part of her body and assumed all of her symptoms were caused by her anxiety. Since overcoming her fear, Sam can comfortably navigate her physical symptoms in a resilient and powerful way.
Sam highlights her thought processes pre-programme, and how she felt completely catastrophic, helpless and black and white. Since learning what tends to induce her physical symptoms, she is able to prepare appropriately and give her body what it needs rather than allow her thinking to spiral.
The way Sam processes her physical symptoms has become empowering and proactive and she now fully understands the importance of solid mental health on her ability to manage any medical diagnosis effectively and powerfully.
Michelle and Sam discuss the fact that despite a medical diagnosis, the Emetophobia-free programme will enable you to effectively manage your thinking which in turn, enables you to manage your physical symptoms!

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