Most sufferers of fear of vomiting (emetophobia) fear vomiting themselves, while a few only fear seeing someone else vomit.
This is actually a quite common phobia which appears mostly in women and more often in adolescents
For many sufferers of fear of vomiting anxiety about vomiting and anxiety about death are inextricably linked. The terror can be so strong that it sometimes manifests as OCD symptoms, for example, scrubbing hands over and over to get rid of germs.
Often emetophobics have a restricted social life as they often fear going somewhere where they might see someone vomiting, for example to the movies or to a pub.
Sufferers know that, logically speaking, vomiting itself is not dangerous and indeed, can sometimes save one’s life. But intense fear simply takes over even as they think about it. This feeling is not logical. It is emotional and it is automatic. It just happens.
This tells us something very important. This fear, this phobia (like all phobias), is triggered and powered from within the subconscious mind. It is not consciously and logically driven. No amount of logic will therefore overcome fear of vomiting. You have to find a way to get into the workings of your subconscious mind to find those phobia triggers and relieve them.
Hypnosis provides an ideal method to do just this as it focuses on dealing with the root cause of the problem, which in the case of fear of vomiting usually has very little or nothing to do with actually throwing up..
In using hypnotherapy to treat fear of vomiting, I work with your subconscious to uncover the original causes of the fear and then help your subconscious to understand that vomiting does not pose a serious threat.
The process of using hypnosis to communicate with the subconscious in a safe, side effect free way is highly effective in treating fear of vomiting.
You can be permanently rid of your fear of vomiting.
