The Emetophobia Free Podcast
Emetophobia (vomit/sickness phobia) insights, tips and support from Emetophobia-Free
Hosted by Rob Kelly - creator of The Thrive Programme: Emetophobia Free - these podcasts will demystify and deconstruct this phobia in order to explain how and why people suffer from it, and how they can overcome it. Although terrifying and debilitating to the sufferer, emetophobia is actually quite easy to understand - when you break it down into its component parts. The better you understand the phobia, the easier it is for you to overcome it and get helpful, empowering support from friends and family.
Featuring in-depth discussions with Thrive Programme Coaches and former/present sufferers of emetophobia - we’ll answer all your questions, starting with these:
What really causes emetophobia? What are the beliefs and thinking styles that drive it? How can you build your coping skills and overcome it? How can your partner best support you?
and Why do only certain types people suffer with this phobia?
Over 20,000 people worldwide have completely overcome their emetophobia using our unique methodology. Based on clinical experience, scientific research and applied psychology, our programme will explain how your emetophobia was created, and how you can - safely and carefully - get rid of it completely
