The Fear of Vomiting and How to Conquer ItThe fear of vomiting, emetophobia, is surprisingly common. In fact, it's the 6th most common phobia that there is. In this article, a leading British hypno-psychotherapist explains how transformational hypnotherapy can bring rapid and permanent relief from this distressing and often incapacitating condition. The fear of being sick and of vomiting is called emetophobia Often clients call the hypnotherapist seeking help in overcoming a fear of vomiting, believing that they alone have this fear or phobia. Contrary to this popular misperception, emetophobia is not at all uncommon. In fact, it is the sixth most common phobia. Given this fact, it really is surprising how little this fear is discussed. Perhaps this is because vomiting is one of those subjects that people tend to avoid discussing. But perhaps the major reason is because those who do suffer from emetophobia - in common with those who experience other irrational fears and phobias - often feel some sort of shame for doing so. Such feelings, however, are entirely unjustified and really unnecessary. And with effective hypnotherapy, emetophobia can be completely and rapidly eliminated. The cause of a fear of vomiting is most often really simple and not at all complex. At some time in the past, the emetophobic individual has linked vomit, vomiting or being sick with an intense, traumatic feeling. What has happened is that a frightening experience or event in the past has 'programmed' this fear into the subconscious mind; it has become a 'conditioned reflex'. So that sometimes even the thought of vomit or vomiting can automatically trigger the terrible feelings of fear and anxiety. Few people suffering from this phobia or fear actually vomit. In fact, in common with most phobias, the real problem is not so much the fear of vomiting as it is the fear of fear. In many ways, it is what may loosely be termed an 'anxiety disorder'. The good news is that no-one need continue to suffer from this restricting and often debilitating fear. It is a phobia that can be swiftly and successfully treated through the medium of transformational hypnotherapy. Often all it takes is two or three completely painless transformational hypnotherapy sessions in order to completely and permanently remove emetophobia or the fear of being sick.
