I'm dealing with Emotophobia too. It's affecting what I can eat. My safe foods are lunch meat, cheese, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, eggs, Wraps, fruit, yogurt. And veggies.
my daughter went thru the Thrive program for emetophobia and it helped her alot - it focuses more on the notion of wanting control but not feeling you can have it...thinking styles....self esteem...social anxiety....
Ello, I'm a 14 year old girl with Emetophobia. Currently my mother I sick and throwing up every now and then. So I'm currently on the other side of the house where I can't hear her. But now I'm really anxious and starting to feel yuck myself. It's also kinda extra hard for myself because I have a gluten and lactose intolerance so I never now if I am actually sick because I accidentally ate some. I'm also a Google pro by now. I've Googled SO, SO, SO MUCH stuff on How to help Anxiety, Emetophobia, Acid reflux, GERD, gag reflux, and all the ways to avoid nausea.
I'm the same as you, it's so difficult but i promise you'll overcome it and i knows that someday I will too! And I'm gluten free and dairy free so i understand your struggles! ❤
My daughter is 7 and has emetophobia. It really kicks in at bedtime (because she got sick in the night). For weeks now she keeps calling us back to her room, seeking reassurance (feel her head, check if she is sick). She is petrified and will just wake up out of a deep sleep and cry. I’m really not sure what to do to help her. It is scary to see that this is far beyond reason and logic. I feel powerless to help her. I just purchased the book, thank you for the information.
I have this as an adult and I can honestly say it’s ruled my entire life from as far back as I can remember. My now 14 yr old is experiencing it now too and even though I thought I’d shielded him from the fact that I have it, it’s now so bad that he’s refusing to leave the house, restricting foods etc - basically everything you’ve mentioned here. I’m blaming myself and realising I didn’t do a very good job of masking my fear. I hate the fact that I’ve passed this phobia on, it is debilitating and to think this could potentially rule his life too literally breaks my heart.
My daughter is 10 and going thru this now. She wakes up shaking and crying and wont eat. Its gotten pretty bad 😢& all this is happening because she saw her little brother throw up 2 weeks ago & she still going thru it
hey ! i can relate to her. when i was as young as 6 i wouldn’t want to eat after witnessing someone vomit. try to explain to her that there’s no reason for her to throw up. she’s not sick, the food isn’t bad, etc. tell her to eat slowly in pauses/small bites and once she realizes she’ll be okay, that’ll help her eat more.
I have this. In first grade, I threw up in front of the class. Now. I can't even eat these food combos like pizza and chocolate milk. And stuff like that. Whenever my stomach hurts I think I will throw up.
Last night i had some diarrhea and i was feeling to throw up but i didn't happily but i almost did. I have Emetophobia and i cry when my dog or relative who i live with throw up. I just don't like to mention it when someones telling that they did have a fever and they threw up and it gives me the chills. I just need to learn from it since my childhood.
I have this and it’s so scary even when I hear the word vomiting my face turns pale and I always have to make sure I wash my hands every 30 minutes or hours I don’t know if it helps tho and I also have really bad appetite I constantly think about vomiting every single day to the fact I’m have nightmares of it and visions of it but my parents never believed I was this scared I tried asking for therapy but nothing works😢
I thought I heard the interviewer mention very very quickly that about her daughter, "well, her Dad died this past year" and it seemed to me odd that it was not picked up on by the therapist. Nor is there any mention of the bottom line of anxiety, which is losing control in some way. So the "phobic' aspect is not simply that the child is mysteriously anxious, necessarily. It can certainly be part of one's make-up, but also it can be provoked by some event where there really was loss of control in an important way. I wonder too if kids have more anxiety now than, say, kids 10 yrs of more ago. Violence has risen and kids do hear about it, and worry about it.
She has had Emetophobia since she was very young, way before her dad (my husband) died. Of course loss/trauma only made everything so much more difficult. Luckily she is doing much better right now.
My sister threw up earlier and I’m shaking and covering my ears like I’m 12 but I’m fine with throwing up on tv and games and pictures but I can’t deal with the noise of vomiting
Thanks for sharing, my daughter keeps saying that she’s going to vomit and start having fear of leaving home and all the things you mention. Luckily and for the moment she’s eating ok. She’s 6, she get sick 2 months ago and vomited same night. From that night the issue begin.. I’d like to know if the book is translated in Italian, and if so, where I can find it.
I struggle with this so much as an adult

Have you tried Wim Hof Method?
Same, I have emetophobia and celiac, so things are really hard for me. Especially when my family is sick
Btw celiac is gluten and temporary lactose intolerance until my gut heals

Thank you for posting this. It has really helped our son work through his anxiety

Me too just know you are not going through this alone
@@Mel4life. ty bestie you don't know how much this means to me❤️😭❤️
Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed to help my 8 year old daughter.
That was so helpful, you both are angels!
I had this fear intensely in middle school. I don’t have it any more and manage anxiety with breathing mindfulness.
Very helpful, thank you!

As a 10 year old who has this I've literally had a panic attack bc I threw up I would rather die!!

I hate throwing up....
My daughter has lost 10 lb in a month and a half because of this. She's literally eating almost nothing at all now. We have run out of options.
My sister threw up earlier and I’m shaking and covering my ears like I’m 12 but I’m fine with throwing up on tv and games and pictures but I can’t deal with the noise of vomiting
I still Throw up only when people mention me about food. What should I do, Natasha?
Tell them to mention food again and again make yourself fearful and try to cope with the situation (practice and implement)
Can you please provide links to Dawn Hueber's books?

Rn I feel like ima throw up and I'm like really really really really really really really really scared 😰😥
i have never seen kids who have it only adults like me lol
Same
ive had it since i was a kid, im 18 and its still really bad
15 rn had it since I was 8 I threw up when I was 9 and got better, but still scared, haven’t threw up in 6 yrs
This is useless..I don’t think it will ever go away-
it won’t necessarily go away but you can cope with the anxiety that comes with it
