Help with Emetophobia?
Emetophobia is the fear of being sick or vomiting. It is a phobia that affects many people’s lives. At the Hampshire Hypnotherapy Centre in Fareham we have successfully treated many cases of Emetophobia.
Symptoms typically include shortness of breath, rapid breathing, irregular heartbeat, sweating, nausea, and overall feelings of dread, although everyone experiences emetophobia in their own way and may have different symptoms. What is the cause of Emetophobia?
Like all fears and phobias, Emetophobia is created by the unconscious mind as a protective mechanism. At some point in your past, there was likely an event linking vomiting or throwing up and emotional trauma. Emetophobia can have a massive impact on someone’s life. The sufferer may have to avoid restaurants, pubs, public transport and social occasions. For some the symptoms can be so severe that they cannot leave the house at all. It can also be a problem for mother’s looking after children. They can become unable to care for their children when they are sick. Hypnoanalysis can be extremely effective in removing the symptoms of Emetophobia; it can give you a new life.

Some symptoms of Emetophobia
|
| |
- A tremendous and uncontrollable fear of being sick, being sick in public or fear of watching someone else vomit or be sick.
- Watching people closely to see if they are ill, or show any signs of illness.
- Avoiding certain foods to the point of obsession
- Obsessing about germs and hygiene, particularly in the kitchen but also around other people who are ill or might be.
- Hating or even avoiding public transport in case others are sick.
- Feeling worried about becoming pregnant because of 'morning sickness'.
- Hating hospitals
- Being particular about the expiry date on food and chucking out food if it's even close to going out of date
- Hating feeling 'out of control'
- Being quite 'obsessional' generally in life - often emetophobics are absolutely fixated on their phobia and it dominates their thoughts.

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED:
How many sessions does it take?
Most people require from 6 to 12 sessions (for most clients the average is 8 sessions)
How much does the session cost?
The cost for the Hypno-analysis is £60 per session.
How long is the session?
Hypno-analysis sessions last approx fifty minutes and should be at weekly intervals.
Where can I have the sessions?
We have practices in Fareham, Southampton & Winchester.
Can I be seen at a weekend?
Our practices are open on a Saturday morning. (Places are limited so please call early to book one of these slots)
Will I remember the session?
You will be able to remember everything that’s said, your not asleep in hypnosis and you don’t lose control. Hypnosis is just a nice comfortable state of relaxation, a state you will have experienced many times in your life already…probably without even realising it.
Why can’t you cure my phobia in just one session, like I’ve seen on TV?
Many people have had phobias and anxieties for many years; something that has affected someone for many years can’t be easily changed for good in just one session. Hypno-analysis is the safest, natural most effective therapy on the planet.
Does it matter that I can’t remember much from my childhood?
Most of the people we see express this concern and in all of the hundreds and hundreds of clients we have seen for analysis it has never been a problem.
Will the sessions be recorded?
Confidentiality is our utmost concern, we never record sessions. What is said in our consulting room says in our consulting room.
Why would a bottled up emotion from my childhood be causing me a problem in my adult life?
As a child we all bottle up experiences. This bottled up emotion can cause us a variety of symptoms in adult life (click here to see our list of problems treated).
Can I discuss the sessions with anyone?
It is essential that anyone going through Hypno-analysis doesn’t discuss what comes up in the sessions with anyone; this can cause intellectualisation and can slow, or indeed halt the progress altogether. At the end of analysis you could write a book about your sessions, most people prefer not to as they are enjoying their life to the full!
How soon can I be seen?
We make every effort to see you within a week, however our diaries fill up very quickly, so please call today to avoid disappointment.If you have any more questions about our Hypno-analysis sessions then please don’t hesitate to contact us. In the meantime please read the information below where some of your other questions may be answered.
