Emetophobia (Fear of Being Sick) Why have we given this fear its own place on our website rather than including it with other fears? It is because we have found this particular condition very common among both adults and children and, although not pleasant for the sufferers, we have achieved much success helping remove the symptoms. While many people may not have heard of emetophobia, it is in fact one of the most common phobias and can have a huge impact on life as sufferers will avoid any situation which might lead to the possibility of vomiting. This could be as drastic as not starting a family for fear of morning sickness, not travelling for fear of being travel sick, not being able to enjoy certain types of food or avoiding alcoholic drinks.
Being overly concerned about cleanliness is common and avoiding restaurants is common. The emetophobe may also avoid situations, such as theme park rides or boat trips, where they may come across nauseous and will also be worried about seeing anything connected with sickness or vomiting such as hospitals, doctors' surgeries and even magazine articles or TV programmes. If you are suffering with this condition please contact us to discuss treatment. We can arrange for you to talk to past sufferers if you wish as we have had many clients who have used hypnotherapy to recover. |
