Why is the Emetophobia Book spiral bound?

We get asked why the Emetophobia Book from our series of Thrive Programme manuals are spiral-bound quite often.

When we publish a new Thrive Manual, we always publish it as a spiral bound book for the first couple of years.  This is so we have time to:

• evaluate the book itself: how easy is it to use? Do people like it? Could it be better presented? We get lots of feedback, and adapt or change any parts as necessary
• run a research project (like our recent Emetophobia research paper) into how effective the programme within the book is (this usually take about a year). We then make any changes necessary to make the programme as easy to use and effective as possible for sufferers
• pick up on any spelling and grammatical errors I made!

The spiral-bound books are actually updated every month or so, and you will always get an up-to-date version on Amazon. The changes might be really small, like a spelling error, or quite large, like adding a whole section to the emetophobia book.

Basically, we are continually getting feedback about the books all the time, and update the books on a regular basis.

We print A4 size emetophobia books because they are much easier to use and write on as workbooks, as they can contain much more white space.
