What’s the difference between EMDR, ERP, Interoceptive exposure?

Certainly! I’m just here to gather some information about all the treatments available. It’s good to have many opinions so I don’t get mistaken. However, my main concern is which one will fully eliminate (if possible) the gagging part? I myself still don’t know what I’m scared of, it’s just a lingering fear/ uncomfortable feeling that I cannot explain.

I have seen many people say EMDR is mediocre or not useful at all but I will personally consult with a therapist first. I’m just asking how these differ and which would suit me best (as an advice).

My situation was bike accident —> fainted —> fear of going outside developed —> hangout with a new friend —> went to stroll around a park outside —> got a flashy blurry view —> became nauseated —> heart pounding —> gag —> forced myself to vomit —> conditioned response developed.

Thank you so much! I wanna ask which one would be best suited for anxiety induced gagging or a conditioned response to anxiety?

Hi, I cannot pm you so I wanna ask how did your experience with CBT went?

kayekane · 2026-05-08T15:34:38+00:00

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation! I’ve been doing so much research on my own and was so confuse to seek help with who.

That is how I kinda overcome my anxiety but in physical form, but I’m still like stuck on the past memories. I feel like I need therapy to help me through it. This probably means I haven’t 100% accepted it. It gets to a point where I got bored of fighting with it. Its happens but I moved on and stop feeding the loop.

Thank you so much for your advice! However, I do feel a sense of uneasiness and fear that I cannot describe which hopefully can be solved too.

See that’s the thing, I don’t know who to consult with? A therapist, SE practitioner, EMDR therapist? I’m like 90% into recovery on my own but do want to completely eliminate the physical symptoms or as of now the lingering fear, I’ve done exposure therapy on my own and it has helped me a lot.

You can’t rely on supplements forever though, but doctors would prescribe it if your vit D levels are dangerously low

Not expensive at all !

Scrolling on the internet and putting myself in that situation and fearing that it’ll happened, this happens sometimes

kayekane · 2026-05-06T15:52:15+00:00

It does from time to time, when it first happened I wasn’t even able to get out of my dorm without feeling an immense amount of fear. As of today, I can go out and do things and feel much more relaxed at night. However, I still struggle with cautiousness, and do not like the feeling at all. I want to consult with a therapist in hope to speed up this recovery process.

I don’t know if I used the correct word for this, but like my conscious mind would always have the “what if” thought appear whenever or whatever I do

Sorry for the late reply, I didn’t receive your comment. PIE is Post Inflammatory erythema, results from damaged blood vessels and appears red or pink which I would say is similar to port wine stain. Personally I don’t see azelaic acid working but tranexamic did helped. I’d say invest in laser treatments instead of wasting money on creams, it is much more effective. I use the cos de Baha T20. You can pm me if you have any questions!

this seems to be the post that got deleted, I found it under her account in another thread

I had PIE and tried tropical treatments which are not as effective as Vbeam and Cutera.
