I Could Handle Blood and Violence—But Not Vomit: An Ex-Police Officer’s Emetophobia Journey

She could handle traumatic crime scenes, dangerous situations, and everything that comes with being a police officer.

But if sickness was involved? She crumbled.

Steph’s emetophobia didn’t just affect her career – it impacted cooking, being a mother, even sleeping. Nights were especially brutal, like having “a constant evil bully” she couldn’t shake.

Sound exhausting? It was.

In this powerful episode, ex-police officer turned kindergarten teacher Steph shares her complete transformation story with Coach Michelle and Coach Lauren.

 

Here’s what changed everything:

  • ✓ Recognizing the program benefits your entire life – not just the phobia
  • ✓ Learning to speak to yourself differently – from self-criticism to “I truly deserve to live my life”
  • ✓ Understanding progress isn’t linear – some days feel amazing, others challenging, and that’s normal
  • ✓ Completely retraining your brain – unlearning everything you thought you knew about emetophobia

 

The breakthrough: Steph overcame her phobia in 8-12 weeks and was able to drop her medication shortly after.

 

“I have tried everything, but the program is all that has ever worked to overcome my emetophobia. I am now truly and completely over my emetophobia.”
