Overcome Emetophobia - Thrive Programme Coaches

Book a Thrive Programme course near you – with a Thrive Programme Coach®

The Thrive Programme takes on average just 6-10 hours to complete on a one-to-one basis. This is usually undertaken over a 3-6 week period. You can discuss dates and options with your Thrive Programme Coach®.

The Thrive Programme is not therapy – it is a training course – your relationship with your Thrive Programme Coach® will be very much like your relationship with, say, a personal trainer. Also, in therapy, therapists ‘do stuff’ to you in order that they may: elicit changes in you, ‘release’ some sort of ‘block’ from inside you. This programme couldn’t be more different… you will be taught everything you need to know in order to: let go of the past, supercharge your self-esteem and self-confidence, overcome any social anxiety or fear and optimise your thinking skills, emotions and beliefs… these are the steps you need to take in order to feel powerful and take control of your life.

Your Thrive Programme Coach® will guide you through the programme and demonstrate how to apply all the techniques and insights. In addition to your Thrive Programme Coach® sessions you will be required to put in some time and effort each day in order to put your learning into practice, hone your new skills and ultimately learn to thrive.

The cost of undertaking the programme is £895.00*. Locate a licensed Thrive Programme Coach® to start working through the programme today!

Since then, thousands have changed their lives and now live phobia-free. If any of this resonates with something you're going through, please get in touch - it is possible to be cured of emetophobia!

What is Emetophobia?

Emetophobia is a fear of being sick or vomit and affects up to 8% of people worldwide, especially females. However, it is hugely misunderstood and various CBT or medical treatments are often used with little success.

Emetophobia is known by many names (emetophobia, specific phobia of vomiting (SPOV), vomit phobia, sickness phobia, fear of vomiting…) and is associated with other fears and disorders, such as phagophobia (a fear of gagging, swallowing or choking), a fear of pregnancy, social anxiety, panic attacks and obsessional disorders. People can fear vomiting themselves and/or others vomiting. Most individuals with emetophobia are female, with research studies revealing that 85-97% of their emetophobic participants are women (Hout & Bouman, 2011; Lipsitz et al., 2001; Veale & Lambrou, 2006).

Emetophobia tends to be a severe symptom and often significantly affects sufferers’ ability to lead normal lives. People with this fear often go to great lengths to avoid encountering anything that could lead to vomiting. They may, for example, be teetotal or heavily limit their alcohol consumption and avoid pubs or clubs where others may drink heavily and then vomit. They may worry a great deal about hygiene, and be fussy about making sure everywhere is clean. They may take excessive time off work or school because they worry about being exposed to germs that will cause them to be sick.

Many sufferers of severe emetophobia have unsuccessfully tried a range of treatments, such as CBT, exposure therapy, CRT. Veale and Lambrou (2006), for example, found that twenty-nine percent of their sample of vomit phobics had received some form of therapy for their fear, which overall they rated as largely ineffective. Veale and Lambrou (2006, p. 139) have stated that “clinicians generally regard it as challenging to treat because of high drop out or a poor response to treatment.”
