We know emetophobia, and we can help you overcome it.

Emetophobia needs specialised treatment.

Free treatment seems like the obvious first step. Unfortunately, emetophobia is one of the least understood conditions in mental health. Most systems, like the NHS, don’t have a dedicated page or treatment for it.

Here, emetophobia is all we do. This programme is completely built from A to Z for emetophobes, and based on research on emetophobia specifically, not other symptoms.

We understand life can get really busy, but emetophobia makes everything more challenging.

It’s present during school pick-ups, any time you eat, at work, during a nice holiday. Every moment is filled with assessing potential risks, which is extremely exhausting.

This is why overcoming it should be a top priority. It will allow you to get back to your life, be the parent you want to be, get the job you want, and no longer avoid opportunities because of it.

If you are thinking this is another self-help book, it’s not!

This is a structured psychological training programme that starts by helping you understand exactly how emetophobia is built. It then breaks down every component and trains you to address and change each one until you no longer have the fear.

Bonus: there is no exposure therapy!

We understand the need to ask for help, and it can be even more challenging if you haven’t shared about your emetophobia before.

We have a page for significant others, so they can understand better what you’ve been going through and how they can support you. Anyone reading that page will understand how challenging it’s been and will want to help and support you in overcoming this.

The programme teaches you a set of skills to overcome your fear, and you can’t fail at learning a skill. You can only improve and get better.

You overcome emetophobia by following our step-by-step plan, climbing the stairs at your pace. There is only you developing your skillset, not failing.

The programme teaches you a skillset to help you overcome emetophobia, but also to thrive in life in general, and that includes getting better at sticking with goals.

But even if you did stop, you would still have moved forward. And you can start back up at any time. You don’t go back to the beginning, so stopping and starting will still get you there, just a bit slower!

You can’t undo knowledge.

Right now you don’t have a full understanding of emetophobia. All you need is to read and understand first, and apply later.

It cannot make your life worse, it can only improve it. And this will motivate you to keep going until you are fully over it.

We conducted a study of 62 emetophobes and every single one of them improved.

Plus, have a peek at our testimonials, full of ex-emetophobes sharing their story and their life emetophobia-free. They didn’t get there overnight, but after putting in consistent effort with their new skillset they got there. You can too!

This programme is 100% confidential. No one needs to know.

A big component of emetophobia is social anxiety and embarrassment. This is something you will learn to tackle during the training!

Phobias are created and maintained, and knowing it’s created by you means you can just as much uncreate it. You just need to be shown how.

You don’t need to change anything.

Keep your safety behaviours. They make up around 5% of the programme, and most will fall away naturally as you start to feel more powerful.

We don’t need to discuss past events, sick-related or otherwise! You don’t need to go back over them. The programme is completely forward-facing.

Emetophobia isn’t actually about being sick. It is all to do with a fear of your own emotions when feeling out of control. That is what we focus on, not sickness.

We know first hand how exhausting it is, but if nothing changes, nothing changes.

All you need is 30 minutes of learning daily. As you start to feel more powerful, you will start to creep out of survival mode and then have more capacity to learn more, do more, enjoy more!

This is unlike anything you have done before.

Think of it like your driving manual for emetophobia, with a beginning, a middle and an end. At every step you learn something new, put in some effort to apply it and keep building on top of it.

It is completely built for emetophobia. None of what you will be learning is about testing if it works. This works just like driving.

There have been no studies into how often people with and without emetophobia are sick. However, the rate at which people are sick in general is very low. It’s not a common event for most people. And you can keep your safety-seeking and avoidance behaviours. They make up around 5% of the programme, and most fall away naturally as you feel more powerful.

Avoiding going out today increases your sense of powerlessness. When you feel more powerless, you create more anxiety, which in turn is likely to increase nausea. In short, your phobia is not protecting you. What this phobia is protecting you from is a life of peace, freedom and feeling content.

Your emetophobia is lying to you. Being sick is nothing to be ashamed of.

Being sick, to a non-emetophobe, is a bit unpleasant and inconvenient, but it is not a failure. It’s not something to be avoided at all costs. They don’t judge themselves or others for being sick. It’s just something that happens from time to time. No big deal.

It is your emetophobia convincing you otherwise.

You can learn to say no and feel powerful while doing it.

We get it. The thought of admitting to others that you have changed feels like removing a coat of armour you have built for yourself. It feels vulnerable and uncertain.

The programme is specifically designed to help you increase your social confidence and confidently say whether you want to do something or not.

When you feel powerful, your relationships become healthier.

Becoming more powerful will only strengthen the healthy relationships in your life, not detract from them. Imagine not needing others for support. How liberating, freeing and empowering that would be.

To be able to manage your emotions yourself, and choose to spend time with family and friends for the sole purpose of enhancing your life. Truly enjoying their company, rather than relying on it or feeling you need it.

The cost of surviving rather than thriving is higher than you think.

Not everyone thinks about vomit every day. Not everyone is mentally exhausted from risk-assessing everything daily. Not everyone has to go over and over worst-case scenarios just to feel safe. Not everyone feels scared every day. You can feel free and truly happy.

No one can see the extent to which you are suffering. Only you know the true level of it. The question is, would you accept a loved one just surviving through their life? Or would you do everything in your power to make sure they were truly happy? You deserve the same level of love and respect as everyone else. If you don’t believe that, it’s just your low self-esteem talking, and we can help with that too.

Would you expect a loved one to manage with a broken leg?

Everything is harder for them. It takes more time and effort and is frankly more painful than it should be. Even if they had been living with it for many years and had learnt how to manage it, would you just let them continue to manage it?

Or would you drag them to the doctor, in full knowledge that if they got it sorted and did a bit of physio, every moment of their life would be easier for the rest of their life?

Other people’s situations are irrelevant.

Does it matter if you have a fracture in one part of your leg, or you have broken your leg, ankle, hip and pelvis? Do both of these people not deserve treating? Do they not deserve the same love and respect?

If you have created emetophobia, you deserve the knowledge, skills and understanding to be able to rid yourself of it. Full stop.

Emetophobia is not your fault. But you are the only one who can change it.

You were never taught to manage your emotions. You were expected to just know how to think and live and be. The fact you didn’t just know how to not create a phobia isn’t your fault. There is nothing else in life we are expected to just know without being taught, except our mental health.

None of this is your fault. But you are the only one who can teach yourself the skills you need to uncreate it. You owe it to little you to learn how your mind works and overcome this fear.

Not everyone has something.

Very few people are explicitly taught mental health skills. Most of us are expected to just know how to look after our mind, which is ludicrous when you think about it. We are all taught how to look after our body to avoid getting ill. We are all taught how to look after our teeth to avoid getting fillings. But we are not taught how to look after our minds to avoid creating things such as phobias, anxiety or depression.

Some people have strong, solid, stable mental health and can deal with life’s hurdles and challenges without too much difficulty. These people have a skillset that they have been taught, picked up from people around them or taught themselves along the way. If you weren’t taught that skillset, it’s not your fault, but it’s not something you just have to put up with. It’s relatively easy to learn.

The perfect time doesn’t exist.

How many more days are you willing to survive through, rather than truly living?

And if it’s a busy time, overcoming emetophobia will make it so much easier to manage.

Emetophobia is a spectrum. The solution is the same wherever you fall on it.

Those with fewer safety-seeking and avoidance behaviours have less distance to travel, but it is the same road. It might just take a bit longer.

You’ve been using the wrong tool.

CBT, ERP and exposure all focus on safety-seeking and avoidance behaviours. That is only 5% of this programme. Other treatments don’t tackle the fundamental building blocks of emetophobia: desire for control, self-esteem, unhelpful thinking styles and limiting beliefs. Without understanding and working on those, you will always create emetophobia.

You have no doubt given it your all, but you’ve been using the wrong tool. No matter how hard you try to dig a tunnel with a plastic spoon, you will never succeed.

Emetophobia has a high co-morbidity rate with other issues, but ultimately your fear is running the show.

If you want to overcome it, you’re not too severe.

There is still a lack of understanding, research and experience around emetophobia among medical and psychological professionals. Emetophobia is all we do.

Some people take longer, some have to work harder, but everyone can overcome emetophobia.

It can take longer, but if you stay consistent you will get there.

People with all sorts of different time pressures and commitments have been through the programme and beaten their fear.

The feeling that you can’t change is a belief.

You can and do change your beliefs all the time. Think of fashion, diets, politics. The way you change a belief is to actively look for evidence that you can change, grow and develop.

This is first and foremost a psychological training programme.

Even though your brain works differently, you still have the same psychological components as a neurotypical person. We all have a level of self-esteem. We all have limiting beliefs.

You are still creating emetophobia in the same way as a neurotypical person, and you can overcome it in the same way. This programme helps you understand how your mind works.

“Emetophobia, the specific fear of vomiting, is a poorly understood anxiety disorder.” That is the first line of a 2025 review of the academic research.

Emetophobia remains a poorly understood and often overlooked condition, and it is frequently misdiagnosed. It’s often mistaken for general anxiety or OCD.

If the condition isn’t clearly recognised, the treatments for it don’t spread easily either.

Word is spreading.

26,000 people have overcome emetophobia with this programme, including Bella Ramsey. All effective treatments start somewhere, and it takes time for the news to travel.

The honest answer is that it takes a long time.

It typically takes 10 to 20 years for a psychological treatment to go from initial development to being recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, and therefore widely used in the NHS. This is often called the research-to-practice gap.

Treatments for specific or under-researched conditions, like emetophobia, can take even longer.

What would Bella have to gain? What would 80-year-old Mary have to gain?

Lots of people who have overcome their fear follow us on social media and comment on our posts. And most of the videos predate AI.

Emetophobia is not in your DNA.

Emetophobia is created. Emetophobia is learned. You are creating and maintaining it every day by the way you are thinking, responding and behaving. Emetophobia is a doing thing. You can create something different. You can learn something new!

Without emetophobia you are still you. But free.

Emetophobia is not who you are. It is something you are creating, which is making your life harder and taking away the joy, the pleasure, the happiness. It is adding no value to your life, and by addressing it you are becoming the best version of you.

Don’t focus on the end goal. Focus on the step in front of you.

Emetophobia can’t be beaten overnight. Small, achievable steps in the right direction over enough time is what it takes to beat this, so take the pressure off yourself. And no, we’re not talking exposure!

Overcoming emetophobia doesn’t take loud, bold, brave steps. It takes quiet understanding and subtle power moves.

Anyone can overcome emetophobia. This journey doesn’t change who you fundamentally are. It empowers you to become comfortable and powerful in your own skin.

If nothing changes, nothing changes.

When you feel like you haven’t got time for yourself, that is exactly when you need it most.

Helping yourself is helping your child.

Your child only benefits from a calmer, less anxious, less stressed parent. You are more able to help your child when you have capacity. You can’t pour from an empty cup.

You are not responsible for other adults.

Part of what is keeping you stuck with emetophobia is putting everyone else before yourself.

What you aren’t changing, you are choosing.

You have to make the choice to beat this thing. Only you can do that. Only you can make it a priority. As harsh as it sounds, something’s gotta give.
