How will it help my teenager?
A fear of vomiting or seeing others vomit (emetophobia) can really impact a teenager’s life. Everyday activities like going to school and seeing friends can be filled with anxiety, and teenagers often end up feeling isolated from peers and overwhelmed with anxiety and panic.
Whether you're just starting to explore treatment options or your teenager has been struggling with emetophobia since childhood, the programme offers the all the guidance and support they need to break free from emetophobia and learn to thrive.
Our programme is based on 30+ years clinical experience, an in-depth knowledge of all the available research on emetophobia and the latest insights from the field of neuroscience. We also have data, feedback and testimonials from some of the 20,000+ people who have already successfully overcome their emetophobia using this programme. Our knowledge-base develops deeper every month as we continually gather more and more data from the hundreds of sufferers currently undergoing the programme. Due to our ever-expanding understanding of emetophobia - and its causes - our programme is updated on a regular basis.
Every version of the emetophobia programme comes with a suite of explainer videos to help understand and embed the contents, as well as provide advice and support on how to overcome hurdles and set-backs
The programme includes unique insights into emetophobia, and an in-depth understanding of the particular fears and struggles teenagers with emetophobia face, such as:
- Being hypervigilant about what and when they eat
- Worrying all the time about being sick
- Constantly body-scanning and worrying about how they feel
- Suffering from low self-esteem and high social anxiety
- Being rigid and over-controlling their activities
- Struggling in school or college, or avoiding it completely
- Obsessive actions such as: checking use-by dates, counting, hand-washing
- Worrying what their friends and peers think of them
- Not eating enough or limiting what they eat
- Panic attacks
- Being afraid to go on public transport - needing to have an 'escape plan'
- Becoming sullen, withdrawn or depressed
- Co-morbid symptoms such as: eating disorders, OCD and anxiety
- Not living the happy life a teenager should be living!
Our programme gently enables teenagers to overcome these worries and grow mentally and emotionally stronger each day, without the need for exposure therapy, having to give away their control, or creating unnecessary stress or anxiety.
Their confidence, self-efficacy and general mental health is going to start growing rapidly from the moment they start the programme, and they will build an arsenal of coping skills that will empower them for the rest of their lives.
Most sufferers feel pretty powerless and helpless about their ability to overcome their phobia - but don't worry, our programme takes that into account and is inspiring, easy-to-understand and empowering from day one. Have a look at these testimonials:
