Ok, so last year while my hubby was deployed I went to my doctor because I am fed up with being an emet. I am not asking for an overnight cureall. I dont even expect to be cured of it. I just want to be a little less panicked when i feel sick or the kids do. I want to be somewhat rational about it. I told my Doc that I am emetophobic and his response was, no your arent, you are just stressed b/c your husband is gone. No doc really, i have had this problem since i was a child and it has gotten progressively worse. He said, no dont worry about it when he comes home things will calm down and you will be fine. This guy is a psychologist as well as a family practice dr. how can he say that when i am telling him I have a phobia? We are a military family and our insurance requires my primary care manager to refer me to a psychologist or a psychaitrist. I can't even go see anyone else to find out how to get treatment if this dr doesnt refer me. How can i get him to listen. I have approached him since my husband has come home and he still says that its just stress, only now its the stress of him coming home. uuggggggghhhhh! Any ideas? Are there any free self help techniques I could use?
