Amazing mother & teen daughter beat their phobia TOGETHER! Great teamwork

Katherine and Penelope - mother and daughter - both had emetophobia, a chronic fear of being sick or encountering vomit. As sufferers will know, this is a devastating phobia that can ruin lives. Along with the phobia came panic attacks and anxiety. "I've had emetophobia since I was really young and sometimes it's been really bad and other times I've just pushed it to the back of my mind" explains mum Katherine.
When her daughter began displaying similar emetophobia symptoms, she thought life was really taking a turn for the worse as she now had to contend with her phobia as well. She describes curling up on the sofa and feeling totally helpless.
Like many sufferers, Katherine didn't even realise her phobia had a name until she looked it up online, but realising that there was reliable help available proved to be the turning point.
Initially, Katherine worked her way through the Cure Your Emetophobia & Thrive book but felt that she needed some extra help in getting her daughter free of emetophobia.
So she got in contact with The Thrive Programme's Mandy Willdig, a licensed Thrive Programme Coach®, who guided the pair through the programme over a few sessions. They are now happy to report that they're both free of emetophobia and loving life!

------------------------
Emetophobia is the fear of vomiting/sickness: either yourself, other people, or both. Research suggests 0.1 to 8.8% percent of the population have a fear of being sick (Hout & Bouman, 2011). Emetophobia is a debilitating phobia, which significantly impacts your life: sufferers are chronically anxious and go to great lengths to avoid encountering anything sickness-related, which provides temporary relief but often results in a rollercoaster of anxiety, fear and exhaustion. Issues associated with emetophobia include: OCD, eating difficulties, anxiety-related gastric problems, phagophobia, tocophobia and more. Our goal is to raise awareness of this severe phobia and provide a solution for sufferers and their families.
You do not need to live with Emetophobia - you can COMPLETELY overcome it - just like all the people in these videos did - all the ex-emetophobes in this TH-cam channel used the special Emetophobia version of The Thrive Programme to overcome their phobia. If you are emetophobic, or know someone who is, you can no doubt relate to many of the experiences people share in their testimonials. We hope this reassures you that you’re not alone, and that you do not need to live with this debilitating phobia forever.
The Thrive Programme for Emetophobia (also known as Cure your Emetophobia and Thrive) is the single most successful and predictable method for getting rid of your emetophobia. It has helped over 20,000 emetophobes around the world overcome their phobia.
You can study the programme at home by yourself with a workbook (currently being translated into a number of other languages, as well as a version for the Visually Impaired), a comprehensive online course, or be guided through with a specially-trained Thrive Programme Coach® (face to face or online). Whatever way you choose, the results are predictable, and give you the tools to overcome it, for good.
