Podcast : Five years on and still Emetophobia-Free! Millie shares her story.

In this podcast episode, Millie explains that throughout the programme she experienced blips and dips. She found it difficult in parts and had to put in a lot of effort to find comfort in the discomfort. For example, the first time she decided to drink alcohol or eat fish, she created anxiety and felt uncomfortable.

However, she knew that she wanted to be able to do those things long term so learning to tolerate that anxiety was essential. Now, she is able to do those things with no anxiety whatsoever!

Millie describes her journey thorough the programme as more of a marathon than a sprint. Millie then recorded another testimonial video at the end of The Thrive Programme when she had fully overcome her Emetophobia.

In the last 5 years Millie has continued to Thrive and has recently started travelling. She has enjoyed exploring Europe, sometimes very spontaneously which she certainly wouldn’t have been able to do pre-Thrive. One example, Millie gives is that her friend called her on a Sunday and said ‘Let’s go to Ibiza’ and by the Tuesday morning they were on the plane!

She has continued to try new foods and is able to minimise any stress or anxiety when faced with the challenges of day to day life. Millie is full of energy, adventure and a zest for life and is a total inspiration to other young people out there wanting to live a life Emetophobia-Free! Huge thank you to Millie for documenting her journey through The Thrive Programme and her life beyond!

Millie overcome her Emetophobia with The Thrive Programme and you can too!!
