Gemma couldn't remember NOT suffering from emetophobia, but now she's Thriving! Find out how...

Gemma, from Scotland, was emetophobic from a very early age but it really started to dominate her life when she was 14, when she started to suffer from anxiety and emetophibia at school, missing lots of time and eventually dropping out of college. Many emetophobes will recognise the pattern; making excuses not to do things that might expose them to being sick or vomit in general, unnecessary visits to the doctor and constant anxiety and social awkwardness. It makes life very difficult.
Staying at home and suffering from extreme anxiety, Gemma barely left the house and missed out on seeing friends and having much of a life at all. She was reliant on her mum and grandmother for support and wasn't eating well or living healthily.
Gemma was desperate for help but therapy didn't help her now-suicidal thoughts - in her own words, she "wasn't living life" but it was her mother being sick that proved to be the trigger to seek further help.
On hearing her mother being ill, she became extremely panicked and was in a terrible state. She had to move out to avoid the anxiety about being near the scene or her mum's vomiting, and decided enough was enough.
Finding The Thrive Programme was the moment Gemma's life changed, and she quickly set about doing the programme with the book, working through her phobia.
Gemma said: "This really was a life-saver, I can tell you. This programme has been so well researched - he knows his stuff, he knows you. He knows how your mind works and how your emetophobia works, and how we can stop having emetophobia. anxiety and depression. That's why this book and this programme works."
By chapter four, Gemma was doing so much better and was starting to enjoy life again, ridding herself of her phobias and anxiety. But she had a blip, as sometimes happens when you're dealing with life-long phobias and related issues, so she got in contact with Thrive Programme Coach® Morgan, who put her back on track. After a few one-to-one sessions, she was progressing fantastically well and was soon living free of emetophobia.

------------------------
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.
