Dear Michelle, Would you consider recovering from anxiety disorder when our behaviours, more like the healthy ones we try to aquire, become more ingrained as a product of rewiring our brain? Thus is it useful to act/behave in a non apprehensive manner always, and not just when we acknowlege, accept the presence of anxiety, and let it roll on the background while we go by our day?
Can you guys please do a video about emetophobia and how to apply these techniques to this phobia specifically? It is SO debilitating and so poorly understood. Therapists want to treat it like very other phobia - like a fear of dogs or a fear of driving - but emetophobia is very different from any other phobia for two reasons: 1) There's no escaping it. If I have a fear of dogs, at the very least I know I'm 100% safe at home because there are no dogs in my house. I can also ask family and friends to put their dog in another room when I'm there. But with emetophobia, wherever I go, there it is - even in my own home. 2) People love dogs and want to drive... but nobody likes vomiting, nobody wants to vomit.
