Emetophobia Therapy Approaches

Common counseling approaches for emetophobia include CBT, Exposure Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and/or EMDR. Together these approaches:

    • Identify and challenge unhelpful patterns associated with vomiting
    • Teach distress tolerance and personal value commitment
    • Process any traumatic experiences associated with illness or vomiting
    • And gradually expose you to fears to practice new distress tolerance skills

Common Symptoms of Emetophobia

  • Avoidance of public places, restaurants, or social gatherings.
  • Obsessive cleaning or food preparation rituals.
  • Difficulty eating certain foods or trying new foods.
  • Panic attacks or intense anxiety when exposed to triggers.
