Lauren was almost housebound with emetophobia... 4 weeks later she backpacked Europe with her kids!

"Before The Thrive Programme, I could barely take my two children out for a walk in the pram by myself. I felt like a terrible Mum. I knew that I didn't want to continue this way - it was particularly frustrating for me because I'd gone through two pregnancies with morning sickness, and coped absolutely fine with that... I felt that confident after 4 sessions that I went backpacking with my husband and two children around Europe for a few weeks!"

What a brilliant new testimonial from the lovely Lauren, who's gone from such severe emetophobia that she was barely leaving the house and having daily panic attacks, to going to new toddler playgroups, doing the shopping herself, coping with being home alone, and even backpacking around Europe with her husband and young family! An incredible transformation - and it's all down to her incredible hard work and determination to get out of her comfort zone and get thriving - well done Lauren!!

Emetophobia is the fear of vomiting/sickness: either yourself, other people, or both. Research suggests 0.1 to 8.8% percent of the population have a fear of being sick (Hout & Bouman, 2011). Emetophobia is a debilitating phobia, which significantly impacts your life: sufferers are chronically anxious and go to great lengths to avoid encountering anything sickness-related, which provides temporary relief but often results in a rollercoaster of anxiety, fear and exhaustion. Issues associated with emetophobia include: OCD, eating difficulties, anxiety-related gastric problems, phagophobia, tocophobia and more. Our goal is to raise awareness of this severe phobia and provide a solution for sufferers and their families.

You do not need to live with Emetophobia - you can COMPLETELY overcome it - just like all the people in these videos did - all the ex-emetophobes in this YouTube channel used the special Emetophobia version of The Thrive Programme to overcome their phobia. If you are emetophobic, or know someone who is, you can no doubt relate to many of the experiences people share in their testimonials. We hope this reassures you that you’re not alone, and that you do not need to live with this debilitating phobia forever.

The Thrive Programme for Emetophobia (also known as Cure your Emetophobia and Thrive) is the single most successful and predictable method for getting rid of your emetophobia. It has helped over 20,000 emetophobes around the world overcome their phobia.

Whatever way you choose, the results are predictable, and give you the tools to overcome it, for good.
