An idea to combat out phobia

[crystalmom]

Ok, maybe this is a long shot. Maybe this might be beyond what some people are willing to try. But I have a thought, and I might just try it.


I read about past lives. Alot of times we carry past life traumas with us into this life. I think I must have chocked on v* or something that made me die!


You can see people who specialize in past life regressions, that may be able to help you figure out why we have this phobia. I don't know about you guys, but i ma sick and tired of overanalyzing everything, worrying constantly. Being cautious of things that don't need to be thought about.


I may try this technique in the near future, and see what happens. I've tried everything else, so it can't hurt. Let you know how it goes.

No offense, but I don't believe in the theory of us having past lives.

I believe in this theory somewhat. I definitely believe in past lives, but I am not sure that I believe this is why we are afflicted with our particular issues. I think if the issue is more than just how we've trained our brains to function due to unpleasant situations, lack of control, or what have you;that there is something about this phobia that is going to help us evolve.


This theory I have is based on the idea that our souls keep recycling untill we have reached full understanding and peace with our lives. I feel that sometimes we are given challenges in each life that we have to overcome in order to evolve and become whole. I am a very co-dependent person. I think that in a way, many situations inmy life (including emet) are here to challenge me to become dependent on myself, teaching me that I have all of the power within me to accomplish anything. (including calming myself, supporting myself and defeating what is self defeating such as emet)


However, I used to really believe that I, too must have asphyxiated on my own vomit. It made perfect sense to me then
