Cure the Fear of Emetophobia

I want to talk to you about how you can cure the fear of emetophobia. This isn't exactly a common problem, but it is an irrational fear of vomiting. That doesn't sound really like a bad condition to have because none of us actually like vomiting, but the key to understand is that this is irrational. This irrational thinking will end up taking over a persons life and controlling them. This is a problem that has the roots of anxiety and that is what makes it such a horrible problem. People get very worried about a lot of different things because they need to be able to control things. I'm here to talk to you about how you can cure the fear of emetophobia.

I want to get you into the head of this type of irrationality. I think this can be best illustrated by going to a restaurant. Being out in public scares this person because someone around them could have germs that could lead to vomiting. The food they order scares them because the kitchen could be dirty or the chef could sneeze on their food. This thinking drives people out of the public and into their home. There home is really the only place they have control and that's inevitably where they go.

To be able to cure the fear of emetophobia, you have to take a therapy approach that focuses on the same issues as anxiety. Since it is all about controlling all situations, they need to learn to let go. They can't control everything and that is okay. They need to learn that they can't close themselves off from the world just because they can't exert control over it. But, remember, there is a cure!
