How Does Emetophobia Impact You?
The problem with emetophobia is that it can impact every aspect of your life and the more you try and avoid the problem the worse it becomes. Here are some of the ways that a fear of being sick can create big problems.
Fear of Eating Out – Suffering from a fear of being sick means that you may avoid eating out in retaurants. The anxious part of you worries abut the hygiene factors and the types of food on offer and decides it is simpler to cook all your own food.
Problem with Germs – It is easy to become obessesive about cleanliness if you have emetophobia. That means constantly cleaning, using hand wipes and refusing the shake hands with other people.
Fear of Getting Pregnant – Women may go to extreme measures not to get pregnant because they are worried about morning sickness. This can clearly impact relationships.
Fear of Being Ill – When you are worried about being sick all the time you are going to feel on edge if anyone near you starts to feel unwell. So if a work colleague starts to look as if they are not feeling great you might think about avoiding going into work.
Avoidance of Public Spaces – Left unchecked this phobia can make you want to stay at home and never leave the house in case you encounter other people who could make you unwell. You may deliberately avoid parties or pubs in case someone drinks too much and is sick near you.
Food Avoidance – Many emetophobics tend to be very thin. This is because they eat very little because they are worried about getting sick so they eat small amounts of what they consider to be safe foods.
Emetophobia Hypnosis Treatment

This means teaching you to feel calmer about the situations which previously would have bothered you whilst building your inner resources so that you feel more confidant and in control. In addition we make use exposure therapy to slowly introduce you to the thing that you fear the most.
