How
does your Emetophobia effect you ?
Emetophobia sufferers
or Emetophobics often have a
fear of others being sick while they have no fear of being sick
themselves. Others find just the mention of sick ,puke or vomit or the
smell and /or sounds of someone being sick is enough to bring on a severe
phobic reaction which in turn produce intense / strong emotions of fear,
disgust, panic and even feeling sick themselves.
I specialises in the cure
of the fear of being sick, treatment of this phobia which is a pathological
fear of being sick can and does effect people in many different ways.
.
Associated
fears; gagging, seeing others being
sick, choking on food, pregnancy (due to possibility of morning
sickness), drowning
Statistically speaking
Emetophobia statistically effects more women than men, and tends
to have a very disabling effect on the sufferer; quite often
the person has to avoid all places where there is a
possibility of themselves (or others) being sick; pubs,
restaurants, clubbing, eating in front of others etc.
Because of the association between eating and being sick,
the sufferer often feels a little obsessive about what and
where they will eat. A lot of sufferers tend to view being
sick as 'horrible, dirty, etc, and so it is quite common for emetophobics to also have fears of other situations where
they might feel the same way; going to the toilet , or the
inability to urinate in front of others (shy bladder).
Emetophobia ( its medical name) affects people's lives, often very profoundly
in almost every area of their lives.
How your
life can be changed for the better
Travelling becomes a very real problem for the emetophobic due to the obvious fear of travel sickness, air sickness, sea
sickness which can cause an aversion to cars, trains, tube trains, boats
and flying.
An avoidance of certain
social situations like a fear of eating out, pubs, clubs, parties are
avoided due to the chances of others being drunk or eating rich foods
which in turn could make people sick. Along with such fears come other pre
occupation with illness (sickness), tummy bugs, sickness bugs, stomach
bugs and the danger of food poisoning, so many food types are often
avoided, rich foods, cream, cheese, spicy foods, milk, rice pudding,
custard and the very amounts of food eaten become important along with the
time of day they are eaten to reduce the chances of being sick.
Often pregnancy is
dreaded or avoided because of the very real risk of morning sickness, in
fact the avoidance of children is often found (because they are prone to
sickness bugs when young). Emetophobia can even effect your sex life or at
least parts of it (oral sex is often avoided because of choking and
gagging and the fear of this producing an effect of being sick).
The treatment
I provide a very effective treatment for
removing your phobia. Understanding your phobia is not enough,
conscious understanding of phobias produces no real relief
from phobic responses like fear, shaking, feeling faint,
panic, palpitations, sweating etc and all the side effects of
reacting in this way; worrying what people will think of you,
not being able to do certain 'normal' things because of your
phobia, so we won't be making you hold large spiders ,climb
ladders or eat foods you hate!
We know that Phobias
prevent many people from doing what they would love to do in their lives,
holidays abroad due to flying phobias, eating certain foods due to
Emetophobia
(a fear of being sick) from a fear
of spiders (arachnophobia) to not being able to speak in public
(glossophobia) phobias can be very restrictive on your life.
I treat the
cause of your phobia, removing the 'unconscious' cause of the problem
offers a permanent 'cure' of your phobia, removing the symptoms for good.
Are Phobias and
Fears the same thing ?
A
symbolic representation of an internal anxiety.
Although some Phobias appear to serve an obvious purpose (fear of
fire, drowning, heights etc.) others seem to make no sense at all but as
strange as some phobias seem your mind thinks they are all serving an
important purpose.
Many people suffer phobic reactions
to things from feeling a little bit silly about something to a full blown
panic attack when they are forced to face their phobia.
Most Phobias are not directly related to the
cause of the emotion, they are 'symbolic of it'.
Phobias are often called fears and fears are
often thought of as phobias but they are quite different to each other. Fear
has an obvious focus on danger to us. Phobias are irrational, excessive
reactions to often non dangerous objects animals or situations yet they
cause huge amounts of anxiety, heart pounding, tremors, shortness of breath,
dizziness etc.
