Hello everyone. I'm new and I've suffered from emets for over 20 years.
Recently, I landed an awesome job as a nanny. I am thrilled and for the
first time, making my bills and living comfortably, while nannying for a 4
year old boy that I absolutely adore.
The thing is, given the age of the child, the fact that he is heading to
preschool come fall, etc, I NEED to get over this phobia in case he gets
sick. I am unable to afford any sort of therapy (yet), but need to know,
has anyone overcome their emets? What did it take? Anyone ever tried
"flooding" and what was your reaction? Is it different when children are
involved (like your reflexes just kick in and you go on autopilot?) PLEASE
someone share something with me to help me stay strong if this situation
occurs. I have even considered actually quitting the job. I am deathly
afraid of this situation and am desperately seeking advice/help.
Thanks in advance.
