Emetophobia is a persistent and unwarranted fear of being sick or vomiting and according to the International Emetophobia Society it is the fifth most common phobia.
I receive many enquiries from emetophobes - it is a common condition and is often extremely debilitating and disabling. Many of my clients have already sought treatment - to little or no avail.

 I cannot begin to thank you enough for how you have helped me. My emetophobia is now a thing of the past thanks to you, Cara, and hypnoanalysis. When i first met you I found it hard to believe that any therapy could help my symptoms - i'd tried CBT and counseling - both dissappointingly ineffective.
After 8 or 9 sessions of hypnoanalysis i can now start to live again, without the fear of being sick. It sounds a bit dramatic (well, you know me!) but you really have given me my life back and i wake every morning with a spring in my step!

The phobia interferes with educations, careers, marriages, and family relationships. Many phobics take time away from work or school unnecessarily because of the fear of vomiting themselves or being exposed to people who can pass germs that will cause them to vomit. Many phobics suffer panic or anxiety attacks when they imagine the slightest hint that they may vomit.
Sadly, some women even deny themselves motherhood for fear of morning sickness and some sufferers become housebound. emetophobia consumes a great deal of the time and energy of the person who suffers from it. There is the constant mental stress of worrying when one will vomit next.
Emetophobia is rarely spoken of partly because of the nature of the subject - it is unpleasant and 'dirty' and victims are acutely embarrassed. Most sufferers are female who have had symptoms since their youth. They have wasted years avoiding situations where either they or someone around them could become ill. Those with a mild phobia have anxious thoughts while eating. Some suffer so severely they refuse to leave their home. Many phobics suffer terrible panic attacks when they have nausea or imagine that they do.
A typical emetophobe:
• Is probably female and below average weight.
• Eats out in restaurants very rarely and when doing so is very choosy - avoiding spicy or unusual cuisines. Some will go hungry rather than eat in public places.
• Does not drink or restricts themselves to a single glass of wine and avoids pubs/clubs where others may drink heavily.
• Dislikes dinner parties, weddings, social events and crowded rooms which can lead to anxiety / panic attacks.
• Avoids flying and travelling by boat, especially to foreign countries
• Avoids public transport, preferring to travel by car and driving themselves
Hypnotherapy for emetophobia: Why Hypnoanalysis is so successful at treating it.
Phobias are almost always formed in the childhood (though the symptoms may not appear for many years) and are caused by the sufferer bottling up some strong emotions, and those emotions being projected onto an object/situation. For example, if you are bitten by a dog this may lead to a fear of dogs. The only way to CURE a phobia - to banish it completely - is to release the bottled up emotions that are causing it.
These bottled up emotions are completely locked away in the depths of the persons subconscious mind so the sufferer has no conscious awareness of them. Most other types of therapy cannot gain access to these 'locked away' emotions and experiences, whereas hypnoanalysis can.
The process of Hypnoanalysis requires a strong bond of trust and rapport being created between the therapist, and the client. Over a period of about eight sessions, we slowly link thoughts and memories back through time (using a process of 'free association') until we come to the bottled up emotions. When we release these emotions, the phobia is resolved forever.
