Mothers with Emetophobia.
As you can imagine, and as emetophobia sufferers know, the phobia can dominate your life - from work and school to social and home life, every aspect of an emetophobes lifestyle is affected. Eating habits and social situations are all carefully considered to avoid encountering sick/vomit or associated smells and sensations.
These can be intensified for those emetophobia sufferers with children, especially young children.
Here you'll find a playlist of just a few of the mothers who have either (a) overcome their Emetophobia or (b) helped their child overcome their Emetophobia with The Cure Your Emetophobia & Thrive Programme...

Fast forward a few weeks and, after completing the programme with a trained Thrive Programme Coach®, Shelly is now able to lead a normal, phobia-free life and do normal things like look after her ill child when she needed to. Well done Shelly on a great transformation!
Katherine and Penelope - mother and daughter - both had emetophobia, a chronic fear of being sick or encountering vomit.
"I've had emetophobia since I was really young and sometimes it's been really bad and other times I've just pushed it to the back of my mind" explains mum Katherine.
When her daughter began displaying similar emetophobia symptoms, she thought life was really taking a turn for the worse as she now had to contend with her phobia as well. So she got in contact with The Thrive Programme's Mandy Willdig, a licensed Thrive Programme Coach®, who guided the pair through the programme over a few sessions.
They are now happy to report that they're both free of emetophobia and loving life!
Claire was desperate to start a family but, suffering from severe emetophobia, she didn't think was possible. The thought of being pregnant or having a child was terrifying in-case it resulted her being exposed to vomit.
After trying various treatments, including CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), she found 'Cure your Emetophobia and Thrive' and hasn't look back. After going through the programme, Claire fulfilled her dream of starting a family and is now mother to a happy, bouncing two-year-old. As well as conquering her emetophobia, Claire has improved her self-esteem, resilience and overall wellbeing to lead a Thriving life free of anxiety and phobias.
She is now looking forward to a long and happy motherhood, as well as trying lots of new foods and experiences that were previously off limits.
Emma had suffered with her emetophobia for over 30 years which had a huge impact on her life. Even more so when she had two small children and constantly worried about the germs, colds and stomach bugs that her children might pick up at school.
She had previously tried to cure herself of her emetophobia by attending counselling sessions and also a course of CBT, both of which were ultimately unsuccessful. After a particularly difficult time in her life of suffering she searched on google for a cure for emetophobia and found The Thrive Programme.
Emma is now free of her emetophobia and is experiencing all the benefits of that freedom but she also is incredibly keen to express just how much her life in general has changed. She feels calmer, happier and even admits she is a nicer person to be around !
Matilda, a ten year old girl, had emetophobia since she was five years old. One year ago her symptoms deteriorated so much that she would wash her hands obsessively to the point that her hands would be red-raw and bleeding.
Searching online for a cure for emetophobia, Becki, Matilda’s mum found the Thrive Programme and was even more delighted to discover the Thrive Programme for Children book.
Having now completed the programme and being emetophobia free for the first time in 5 years, Matilda explains how her behaviour has changed from the constant avoidance of anything she deemed as related to being sick to a life free of the intense stresses that she suffered with previously.
Matilda’s transformation has been nothing short of remarkable. This is proven by her recently volunteering to help another child in her class at school who had complained of feeling sick – something she would never have done before !
Stephanie’s 13-year-old daughter, Hannah, has just completed Cure Your Emetophobia & Thrive book and is now emetophobia free !
Alongside Stephanie, Hannah worked incredibly hard to learn and understand the components of her thinking that caused her to create high anxiety around the thought of someone being ill near her.
Now, after completing the programme, Stephanie here describes her delight at seeing the difference in her daughters approach to life.
Now that she is back in school, Hannah has ‘come on leaps and bounds’ and is enjoying the normal life of a teenage girl.
A big well done to Hannah and Stephanie !

Louise had been suffering from emetophobia for as long as she could remember, certainly since she was around eight years old following a bout of food poisoning. For the next thirty years, Louise lived with her chronic fear of vomit, which caused her to avoid social situations and going out with her friends for fear of encountering vomit.
Things came to a head recently when her son became ill and she found it really hard to be with him when he was being sick, so Louise decided to seek help with her phobia.
After doing some research, Louise found The Cure Your Emetophobia & Thrive Programme, which was just what she was looking for to help her deal with the life challenges she faced.
"As well as 100% curing me of my emetophobia, I feel stronger and have a confidence about me. I would recommend this to anybody!"
Zoe is in her late 30's and has suffered from emetophobia for as long as she could remember, but the condition became worse when she had a child because of the increased levels of germs and sickness. It was a really challenging time for her.
Her condition eventually got so bad that she couldn't kiss her little boy goodnight and had to cancel a holiday to Turkey for fear of getting ill.
She contacted a Thrive Programme Coach® and was instantly impressed by the way he understood her phobia and the problems it causes. She also loved the book Cure Your Emetophobia & Thrive
Zoe concluded: "I feel that I'm pretty much over it - I'm 90% of the way there. But I don't panic over things any more, I don't dread the word 'sick' either. I'm so pleased I found this programme and I recommend it to anybody who is going through this."
