Hi, I've been suffering from emetophobia for a very very long time and have tried pretty much everything. I will try one more type of therapy but if it doesn't make a difference, I am coming to terms with accepting this will continue to be with me and I need to try and co-exist with it differently. Has anyone got this phobia and if so, I would love to hear from you - particularly around strategies around it. Thank you!

I don't have lived experience of emetophobia, but I have experience of phobias. For me, desensitization therapy was the most effective, but it had to be ongoing. @WorrierWoman I still have to work on it now when I find myself developing the phobia again - but I nip it in the bud.

Hello @WorrierWoman, I also have emetophobia. It's challenging to live with and I don't think i really have any strategies to share but just wanted you to know that you are not alone in this ❤️
