Technically
known as Emetophobia this is a phobia where the person
has on overwhelming and often obsessional fear of being
sick or watching someone else be sick or vomit. It is sometimes
known as the 'vomit phobia'. People that suffer from the fear of
being sick are known as Emetophobics or Emetophobes. Emetophobes
tend to be on the lookout for anybody that is even slightly ill
in case they come into contact with germs and illness, trying to
make sure that there is no way that they can be sick. Emetophobia
can often rule the person's life, dominating their thoughts each
and every day. It can and often does turn into a major obsession.As a professional hypnotherapist, THRIVE consultant and psychotherapist in Cheltenham I have successfully treated emetophobia many times and is considered by many to be an expert in this particular phobia, and many people that previously had their lives completely ruled by their fear of being sick are now out there enjoying their lives fully...free from emetophobia and its symptoms.
