Hope for the most 'complex' cases of Emetophobia: Sophie's self-led journey to freedom
We have had lots of incredible guests on the Emetophobia-Free podcast but today's guest Sophie is truly exceptional.
Sophie's Emetophobia started at a young age and was so severe that she spent the full 7 years at CAMHS. Sophie's Emetophobia was so debilitating that she was unable to leave the room without the assistance of someone else and at one point she made an attempt to end her own life.
The professionals involved in her care held case study meetings about her as she was so 'complex and complicated'. When she was discharged at 19 she was told there was little to no help in adult services and her long term prognosis was poor...
Despite being told this and armed with multiple diagnoses including Autism, ADHD, IBS, an eating disorder, severe OCD and depression, Sophie persevered in her mission to get herself over Emetophobia.
With consistent effort, dedication and focus, Sophie got herself over her fear using the Emetophobia-Free manual alone.
Sophie's story is absolutely invaluable to anyone going through the programme as she shares useful insights from her long journey through the programme.
With regards to her ASD, Sophie explains; "Its not about being like other people, its about celebrating me. If I was sick, I would cope with it... Being over emetophobia doesn't mean you ‘look the same as someone else’, its about being able to live the life you want to live.

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