Mothers who have overcome Emetophobia

Here at Emetophobia-free, we have hundreds of testimonial reviews, both written and recorded testimonies, left by people who have recovered from emetophobia after completing our programme. Here, we celebrate the achievements of those mothers who have successfully beaten their emetophobia and gone on to enjoy happy, thriving lives. You can see a small selection of these video reviews below, each one a personal, honest account of the journey to being emetophobia-free.

Given that a majority percentage of emetophobes are female (at least 85% according to research), it is understandable that the issue of children often crops up when living with emetophobia. As part of an emetophobe’s general proclivity towards safety-seeking behaviours (more on that later), it is accepted that they tend to view children as a significant threat to their wellbeing.

Children, with their propensity to contract and pass on unpleasant bugs/illnesses and their cavalier approach towards hygiene, can often quickly become something that an emetophobe will seek to avoid. In extreme cases, there are emetophobes out there who have avoided having children altogether rather than face the risk of coming into contact with vomit.

However, for those women with emetophobia who DO have children, the prospect of the significant likelihood that the cherub will one day return from school with a sickness can be all-consuming.
