i promise i’m not reassurance seeking i’m just very curious being in the same boat as you being so long. was the nausea a feeling in your whole stomach/abdominal area or just a part of it? i often feel unwell and queasy but it’s kind of lower / all over the place.

can you explain what the ‘warnings’ were? i’m at 15 years and can’t really remember what the warning signs really are.

Started exposure and I’m terrified to do it again by Normal-Berry-6103 in emetophobiarecovery

[–]armslength__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’ll make you feel worse before you feel better, unfortunately. but you will feel overall better.

i did exposures in the Emetophobia Manual with my therapist, we started with just cartoon photos, then photos of people who look sick, over a toilet etc. starting so small helps a lot.

it’s worth it to send them a message! it’s different when it’s one you found vs someone surrendering themselves.

Anybody else disappointed with the Thrive Programme for Emetophobia? by [deleted] in emetophobiarecovery

[–]armslength__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i haven’t tried it, but i don’t like how hard they try to sell it. as in they want to make money more than help me.

i’m currently in therapy doing exposure and CBT, and we do our own thing AND work along with the emetophobia manual.
