Living with emetophobia—the intense fear of vomiting or seeing others vomit—can feel exhausting and isolating. It’s more than just a worry; it can control your thoughts, your choices, and your daily life.

We understand how deeply this fear can affect even the simplest of things:

✔️ Meeting up with friends

✔️ Going to events and family gatherings

✔️ Preparing or eating food

✔️ Going to restaurants

✔️ Travelling

✔️ Attending work meetings or social events

✔️ Coping during illness or pregnancy

Even if rationally you know it’s unlikely, the fear still feels very real—and terrifying. This is something we hear all the time from clients. And we want you to know: you’re not alone, and you’re not broken.
