So, what is emetophobia? Emetophobia is a fear, or phobia, of vomiting. Sounds like a strange condition but if you suffer from it, you’ll know it’s only a very real and often frustrating condition. It is even considered the 5th most common phobia in the world believe it or not. If you suffer from emetophobia, please know you’re not alone and there is help to be had!

The reality is, emetophobia continues to traumatize millions of people now and throughout history. This condition, as with any phobia, is psychological therefore often the best way to deal with emetophobia is either by talking about it with a friend, speaking to a counselor or psychologist, or even a hypnotherapist to see if you can conquer this fear through hypnosis.

While it does take courage to talk about your emetophobia, it’s best to start learning how to deal with it quickly rather than let the phobia cause any undue stress, lowered self-esteem, etc.

You may also find that if you put yourself in a situation (or situations) where you are more likely to vomit, this could be riding on carnival rides, driving on a winding road in the backseat of a car, etc. and see if you can allow yourself to vomit. Try and figure out what is the cause of your emetophobia and if you can come to a resolution yourself to conquer your fear. Again, if you simply cannot stop your fear of vomiting by yourself or with the help of a friend, contact an expert in your area to see if they can be the solution to finally getting over emetophobia for good!
