Emetophobia TREATMENT

Overcoming the Fear, Reclaiming Your Life

Emetophobia—the intense fear of vomiting—can be overwhelming, isolating, and all-consuming. It can dictate your daily choices, limit your experiences, and make even simple tasks feel impossible. But you don’t have to navigate this alone.

A PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL APPROACH

My passion for helping those with emetophobia comes from my own personal journey with this phobia. As a child, I developed a deep fear of vomiting that followed me through adolescence and into early adulthood. With the support of mental health professionals, I learned how to challenge my fears, build resilience, and embrace uncertainty.

When I became a therapist, I quickly realized how little awareness and treatment existed for emetophobia, despite how many people struggle with it. This fueled my commitment to providing specialized care for those feeling trapped by this fear.

I truly understand how isolating and overwhelming emetophobia can be—but I also know that recovery is possible. You don’t have to live in constant fear. You can learn to tolerate discomfort, loosen anxiety’s grip, and regain a sense of freedom. And through every step of that journey, I’ll be here to support you.

How therapy can help

Emetophobia is often misunderstood, and effective treatment can be hard to find. I specialize in using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)—proven approaches that help reduce anxiety, build tolerance for discomfort, and create lasting change. Through our work together, you will:

  • Understand Your Fear – Learn what drives emetophobia and how it affects your thoughts and behaviors.

  • Develop Healthy Coping Strategies – Challenge avoidance and safety behaviors that reinforce anxiety.

  • Build Tolerance for Uncertainty – Gain confidence in facing the unknown and letting go of rigid control.

  • Reclaim Your Life – Step out of fear’s shadow and start engaging in life with freedom and ease.

YOU CAN OVERCOME THIS

Emetophobia doesn’t have to define your life. Recovery is possible, and I’m here to help you take that first step.

Together, we’ll work through the fear, at a pace that feels right for you, so you can start living without anxiety holding you back.
