Hi all

I am curious to know if you thought it would be possible to cure myself using the resources on this website?

I have been to see a counsellor, who based on what I have read in here, was very good and certainly used reputable treatments such as exposure therapy and CBT plus some breathing techniques. He also explained the way the brain works with phobias which helped me to understand it better.

The problem is that then he said to just go it alone and that was it. The exposure therapy required me to use creative visualisation on my heirachy of fears but I just couldn't do it. I just can't force myself to lie there and actively think about it so I have never done it. The CBT seemed useless when I was in a sweating panicked state - and breathing didn't do much either.

So I gave up.

Looking at these sites I am thinking that I can use the site with the 42 pictures and then move onto the videos but am wondering if this will be enough? Do I need to do this with a therapist to make this work?

I really really want to get past this - my husband and I are thinking of having an extra child but I know I am afraid because of the emet - having one sick kid is bad enough but the thought of two terrifies me. Also I got PND last time and I am sure it was because of the emet.

I need to work on this - I don't want this to stop me having another child and regretting not dealing with this for the rest of my life.

Thankyou for any advice.
