Isla beats her emetophobia !What’s life like without emetophobia? 👇👇👇
Here’s 21-year-old Isla’s story:
“I had suffered from emetophobia for 6 years, from the age of 15. I had constant panic attacks at school, I wasn’t able to sit in classrooms, or do exams in the hall. I wasn’t able to go to social events or eat in restaurants, I wouldn’t travel. My life was very limited.
I’d tried CBT, exposure therapy, medication, holistic methods, yoga, self-care, meditation and this has been the one thing that’s actually shifted my emetophobia. It’s an investment but it’s definitely worth it. I now see the world in a completely different, rational way…I always thought the world was doing things to me, rather than being in the driving seat of my life.
I can go to restaurants, I’m planning on travelling with my boyfriend, I’ve held down a relationship, I can do normal things in relationships, I can do things with my friends and family. I eat a lot now, I love food I love trying new food, I’m a real foodie now which I never thought I would be! I’m happier in myself, my body isn’t stressed, I can sleep better. I’ve developed much better habits now.”
