Teenage Boy Overcomes Emetophobia … “Hi. My name is Marc. I’m 14 years old and I overcame emetophobia with the Thrive Programme! When I had emetophobia I didn’t eat much, if I did, I would get nervous and have anxiety attacks afterwards. I also would hardly go out with friends. I was so much worse at school. I missed most lessons and sat in the nurse’s office for hours nearly every day! Emetophobia stopped me from travelling such as car journeys, plane journeys and going on trains. Even in short car journeys I got nervous!
Recently I found online a book named “Thrive”. Me and my mum ordered it almost straight away! I started to read it. Half way through the book I began to get more confidence. I used to do challenges every week such as going out with my friends to help my social anxiety. Towards the end of the book I had a few experiences but I stayed calm and realised that I was in control of my body!
I can now do anything I want! I can go out whenever I want, meet up with my friends, eat whatever I want without feeling anxious! Also I can travel now on planes, trains and cars without any anxiety. For over 5 years I had emetophobia but now I feel free and I have more confidence and low social anxiety! Marc
How does The Thrive Programme for Emetophobia work?
The Thrive Programme is a six-part training programme based upon the ‘Cure Your Emetophobia and Thrive’ book. You can either work through the book or online course at home by yourself or you can complete it alongside face-to-face or Skype/Zoom/FaceTime sessions with a licensed Thrive Programme Coach®. Everything in the programme is fully backed up by clinical experience and research.
How Can the Thrive Programme Improve My Life?
Whether you are fit or unfit, well or unwell, happy or unhappy, healthy or unhealthy, the way you think and what you believe have a profound influence over the rest of your body. The Thrive Programme can enable people to overcome emetophobia and other fears and phobias, but it is also effective at helping a much wider range of symptoms and problems.
