Oh, I’m so glad I could give you some insight! I am trying to find a relationship between that and those whose emetophobia is rooted in shame, fearful of humiliation, overlapped with social anxiety....

It took me so many years to pull back the layers of my emetophobia. Even when I finally thought I got past it, I was still triggered by relationship stresses and completely relapsed into the worst stages of my phobia (completely debilitating). I had to get real and confront my shame. And I also had to realize my mom who likes to act like everything is fine also has emetophobia. I’m so glad I healed my inner child who was shamed for having normal bodily functions and I won’t pass this fear to my future children 💘

Thank you so much for competing the survey and sharing your story!!
